Como head coach Cesc Fabregas is reportedly determined to bring Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia to the Italian club.
According to the Daily Mail, Como have made contact with Manchester United to inquire about the Netherlands international’s availability and price tag.
Malacia’s Future at Manchester United Uncertain
Malacia has made a successful return to action after almost 18 months out with a severe knee injury, making five appearances for Manchester United since his comeback.
However, with the Red Devils agreeing a deal to sign Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno and targeting Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes, Malacia’s long-term future at Old Trafford is uncertain.

Other Manchester United Defenders Who Could Leave This Year
Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are both out of contract at the end of the season and are unlikely to be offered new deals.
Lindelof is currently injured and down the pecking order, while Evans is likely to retire at the end of the campaign.
Harry Maguire’s future had been uncertain, but the England international’s contract has been extended for a further 12 months.
