Malacia, a 26-year-old left-back, has been linked to several clubs, including Spanish side Elche, Turkish club Besiktas, and Portuguese club FC Porto. Elche are reportedly close to agreeing a season-long loan deal with United for Malacia.

United are also in talks to sell other players, including Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho, who is reportedly moving to Chelsea. Elche have had a good start to the season, drawing against Real Betis and Atletico Madrid, and they need to finalize the deal for Malacia before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The outcome of Malacia's potential move will be an important part of United's rebuilding efforts under Amorim. The club will be hoping to make some progress in their transfer business before the deadline to strengthen their squad.
