Newcastle Outbids Man Utd by £4m for Brazilian Player

Newcastle has made headlines by offering £4 million more than Manchester United for a Brazilian player, demonstrating their aggressive transfer market strategy. Meanwhile, Manchester United fans eagerly await the return of Tyrell Malacia, who is progressing in his recovery and inching closer to a comeback.

When will Tyrell Malacia return to Manchester United?

Manchester United staff are optimistic about Tyrell Malacia’s recovery from injury and believe he could rejoin the matchday squad in the next few months.

Malacia’s last competitive match for the Netherlands was in the UEFA Nations League in June of last year. However, he underwent knee surgery just a month later.

Malacia last represented the Netherlands in a competitive game during the UEFA Nations League in June of last year. Unfortunately, he had knee surgery just a month after that.

Malacia has been on a lengthy recovery journey, but it’s believed he is now nearer to making a return to action than ever, and club staff are optimistic about his recent advancements.

Malacia has been warmly welcomed back to training warm-ups at Carrington, and a source mentioned that the quick movements in the rondos will aid his rehabilitation as he increases his activity level.

In recent weeks, Malacia has been following his individual training program while the main group prepared for matches, but he joined the small-sided game on Wednesday.

While Malacia is making good progress, United will remain cautious as they gradually reintegrate him into full-intensity training. A source acknowledged the need for realism regarding when he will be ready to participate in a competitive match again.

After 16 months away from the game, Malacia will inevitably be out of sync upon his return, and he will need to demonstrate that he can meet the fitness level required by United when he is fully recovered.

The Dutchman may make his return during the winter months of November and December, but he is not anticipated to be immediately placed in the starting lineup, even with limited options at left-back.

Malacia’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2026, meaning he will be entering the final year of his deal at the end of the season, and he will need to compete for his future.

The defender has faced mental and physical challenges during his extended absence and will be eager to demonstrate his value to the team upon his return.

Newcastle bids £4m more than Man Utd for Brazilian

Reports indicate that Manchester United and Newcastle have submitted bids to acquire Barcelona winger Raphinha during the January transfer window.

Brazil International had a fantastic beginning to the season, netting six goals and providing three assists in ten matches across all competitions in the Premier League.

Raphinha has established himself as a key player in Hansi Flick’s squads, while he frequently rotated in and out of the Barcelona lineup under legendary midfielder Xavi.

Despite this, he managed to record six goals and nine assists in 28 La Liga appearances last season, though only 17 of those were as a starter under Xavi.

Reports from Spain now suggest that his impressive performance is drawing significant interest from the Premier League, with both Manchester United and Newcastle submitting bids.

Raphinha’s strong performance has “not deterred Joan Laporta from contemplating a January sale,” as the Barcelona president is “still evaluating the possibility of signing Jamal Musiala or Nico Williams.”

Throughout the summer, “no compelling offers were made for the 27-year-old winger, which led to his continued presence,” but “now there are multiple teams ready to invest in Raphinha.”

Newcastle has “offered a total of €60 million (£50 million),” while Manchester United “has also presented a bid, albeit slightly smaller, of €45 million fixed and €10 million in variables,” bringing the Red Devils’ total offer to €55 million (£46 million).

However, with Raphinha now among the top-performing players in European football, Barcelona president Laporta “will not accept anything less than €75 million for his departure.”

The Brazilian provided a goal and an assist in Barcelona’s 5-0 victory over Young Boys on Tuesday night, and Raphinha feels that his positional change this season has contributed to his improved form.

Raphinha told Movistar: “We knew we had to respond to the game in Monaco. We did very well. We lost in the Pamplona league, and we had to respond. In front of our fans it is much easier because of their support. I am glad we came away with a good victory.

“We have this idea of ​​pressing high up, and we are doing it very well. We are working very well. Physically, everyone on the pitch is strong. Those who come in from outside also help a lot.

“I think what has changed the most is my position on the field. That’s what has really changed for me. I’ve always had the desire to play well. You have to always run. The result doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to give everything for the team.

“It’s important to score so many goals because, at the end of the eight games, it will matter.”
