Manchester United Defender Tyrell Malacia Survives Horror Crash with "Suspected Drunk Driver"
Last week, Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia was hospitalised after a car crash involving a suspected drunk driver. The 24-year-old was a passenger in teammate Marcus Rashford’s Range Rover when the incident occurred on July 16.
According to reports, Malacia was hit by a black Mercedes C220 AMG driven by a woman who was later arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. Malacia and his friend, also injured in the crash, were taken to hospital but were given the all-clear.
Remarkably, both Malacia and Rashford were back in training the very next day, showing their resilience and professional commitment to their club and teammates. The incident is a sobering reminder of the importance of road safety, and we hope that Malacia is doing well and fully recovered.
Malacia, who underwent knee surgery last summer, has been working diligently to regain his fitness and is keen to make an impact at Old Trafford this season. The Dutchman has been an integral part of United’s squad, and his return could be a significant boost to Erik ten Hag’s team.
It’s worth noting that Malacia has been working extensively on his fitness, with United coach ten Hag admitting that the defender is further ahead in his recovery than previously thought. This news will no doubt come as a welcome relief to United fans, who have been eager to see the dynamic defender back in action.
Rashford Speaks on Malacia’s Fitness
Ahead of the new season, Rashford spoke about Malacia’s prospects, saying: "Malacia hasn’t played a minute all season. He hasn’t even been on the training pitch once… We had recruited Malacia at the start of last season precisely as a back-up for Luke Shaw, those two options had to bring us a lot."
He added: "Malacia hasn’t even been on the training pitch once. This season is by far the hardest season I have ever had."
