Man Utd players told Ruben Amorim to reintegrate the bomb squad member

In the weeks that followed, Rashford completed a season-long move to Barcelona, ​​while Sancho, Antony and Garnacho completed their moves to Aston Villa, Real Betis and Chelsea respectively towards the end of the transfer window.

Malacia was the only one to remain at Old Trafford after a proposed loan to Elche in Spain collapsed.

After battling a long-term knee injury that sidelined him for more than a year, the fullback recently returned to team activities. He was even named in the squad for United’s Premier League match against Brighton last month.

It was his first inclusion in a matchday line-up since January, and Ruben Amorim praised Malacia.

“I love all my players,” he told MUTV. “I demand the same from all players. He (Malacia) works very well, he has adapted very well to our team. For me there are no favorites.”

Amorim continued: “If you work, you play for Manchester United. If you don’t, you have to work harder to get back on the pitch.”

It has now been revealed that Malacia’s return to first-team training was backed by United teammates, who “spoke in favor” of the Dutch defender, according to The Athletic.

Amorim reportedly considered their input.

Antony shares insight into his time in Man Utd’s ‘bomb squad’

The Brazilian winger, who joined Real Betis last summer for a fee of £21.7million, recently reflected on his time at United where he felt “disrespected” and had to stay in a hotel.

“It was very tough months in England, more than 40 days in the hotel, training separately. I feel like they had no respect for me, but that’s not the point,” Antony told Onda Cero, as quoted by Sport Witness.

“I don’t want to create controversy; that’s life. I’m very grateful to the club; there were bad times, but also good times, with two titles. My family traveled to Seville four or five days before the deal was finalized; I had the house rented.”
