Man Utd rebuild suffers huge blow as fifth star joins list of unwanted players
Manchester United have a number of players they were finding it difficult to offload and Tyrell Malacia has now returned after PSV chose not to turn his loan into a permanent move Tyrell Malacia is the latest player Manchester United are struggling to shift as their rebuild is hampered by a number of players on their books who they cannot sell. The Dutch defender was Erik ten Hag 's first signing three years ago but he's endured a horror time at Old Trafford and is surplus to requirements under Ruben Amorim. He was loaned out to PSV last year but they do not want to sign him permanently - despite having an £8.5million option to do so. Malacia is up for sale in Manchester but currently no buyers have been forthcoming for a player who has been unable to showcase his best football, largely down to injuries. After an positive first season he has since only managed three league games due to his horrific luck. The 25-year-old was ruled out for 18 months after a meniscus tear, a failed surgery, which then led to another surgery as he underwent a lengthy rehabilitation process. That is unlikely to encourage buyers and United may have to accept a cut-price deal to simply get Malacia off their books, which is likely to be an issue throughout their summer window. Despite signing Matheus Cunha the club are having to deal with a lengthy list of players whose futures need to be resolved. The majority of them don't appear to have roles to play under Amorim but getting them out of the club is a tough ask, especially for those earning big wages. The likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony are looking for ways out of Old Trafford - but the Red Devils could end up paying to offload them. Alongside Rashford and Antony, Jadon Sancho was also loaned out last term but the trio are now back in Manchester. They all fell down the pecking order under Amorim and he's offered no indication that he wants to bring them back into the fold. Alejandro Garnacho was left out of the team that started in the Europa League final and has since angered club bosses by wearing an Aston Villa shirt with Rashford's name on the bank whilst on holiday. Garnacho, Rashford and Antony have contracts until 2028 - with United now expected to subsidise wages even if they leave the club and are playing for a rival. The club showed they were willing to let their players play for other Premier League clubs with their decisions last year.

However, they've not made much progress in selling off unwanted stars, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho still at Old Trafford. Rashford has reportedly rejected three Premier League clubs as he holds out for a dream move to Barcelona, while Real Betis want to re-sign Antony but finances are proving tricky.

'PSV announced the arrival of Tyrell on loan from Manchester United on February 4 this year. The 25-year-old made 12 appearances in PSV's first team. With the club he captured the first national title of his career.' Malacia moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 for £13million, becoming the first signing of the Erik ten Hag era. The left-back enjoyed a decent debut season, making 39 appearances and winning the Carabao Cup, but he would miss the entirety of the 2023/24 campaign because of a serious knee injury. Appearances: 47 Goal contributions: 0 Yellow cards: 11 Trophies: Carabao Cup By the time he returned to the pitch after an 18 month absence, Ten Hag had been replaced by Amorim and soon after the new head coach told him his time at the club was over. More Trending United were hopeful that the loan move would lead to a permanent exit but now they must find a new club for him, a tricky task given the player is still struggling for fitness. And when Malacia returns to Carrington things could be a tad awkward given the Dutchman's parting shot at Amorim and the club. Upon joining PSV. the defender notably said: 'I'm happy to be here. Finally playing good football again.' The Dutchman has one-year left on his contract and because of PSR United need to sell him for around £3m in order to break even on the player.

‘Blood tests preferred for vocational driving licence'
PETALING JAYA: Compulsory blood tests for drug abuse among commercial vehicle drivers should be done yearly to help identify habitual substance users and reduce the risk they pose to other road users, say experts. Road Safety Council of Malaysia executive council member Datuk Suret Singh said blood tests for substance abuse should be included as part of the compulsory medical examination required to obtain a vocational driving licence. He said as such tests may raise costs in the compulsory medical examination for commercial vehicle drivers, it should be conducted at government medical facilities such as public health clinics for free or for a small fee. 'To protect the chain of responsibility for road safety, it is best that the medical examination be conducted at government healthcare centres. 'There should be a mandatory blood test and not a urine test which can be tampered with. 'There should also be ease in taking the medical examination for the drivers without long waiting times,' he told The Star. He said the authorities should act on drivers who have a record for dangerous driving. 'This can be ascertained by the number of summonses such drivers may have. 'If they are found with multiple summonses, their vocational driving licences such as goods driving licence (GDL) or public service vehicle (PSV) licence should be promptly suspended. 'These drivers should be made to undergo a rehabilitation course before the suspension is lifted,' Suret said. Negri Sembilan Lorry Operators' Association treasurer Alvin Loke also backed the proposal for compulsory drug screening and said that such medical examinations should be conducted at public healthcare facilities. 'This is due to rising costs and the wages of drivers that have been stagnant for a long time. Such tests may be costly and unaffordable for the drivers. 'Currently, drivers pay between RM10 and RM50 for the annual medical examination which is required to obtain a vocational licence,' he said. Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said compulsory drug tests on prospective heavy vehicle drivers are necessary. 'If heavy vehicle drivers are under the influence of drugs, they will certainly pose a serious threat to other road users. 'I urge the relevant authorities to make the requirement compulsory,' he said. Additionally, Lee said the drug tests should not only be done prior to the driver's employment. 'Random drug tests should also be conducted to ensure the drivers are drug free,' he said. Lee also proposed that the wages scheme for drivers be changed. 'They should not be paid according to trips. They should be given a fair salary compatible with the work that they do for eight hours. 'That way, they will have sufficient rest,' he said. Lee said those who are paid according to trips have the tendency to make more trips in order to earn more. 'Unfortunately, to stay awake, many of them take drugs. It is actually one of the causes for drug taking on the part of drivers,' he said.
