Benfica’s move for Tyrell Malacia has ‘stalled’ with the Man Utd defender not travelling to Portugal as planned, according to reports.
Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorgu is poised to complete a transfer to Old Trafford from the Serie A club after saying his goodbyes to his team-mates following their 3-1 win over Parma on Friday.
Dorgu was an unused substitute in that match with reports indicating that he has completed a medical and signed his contract ahead of a transfer to Man Utd.
Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim wants to bring players in that suit his 3-4-3 formation, philosophy and style of play, with Dorgu identified as the perfect wing-back for his sytem.
With the Dorgu signing wrapped up, it was expected that Malacia’s exit would be fairly straightforward but the Dutchman has been left in limbo for the time being.
The Athletic reporter Mark Critchley has claimed that there is still hope that a deal for Malacia to sign for Benfica could be rekindled but the left-back ‘didn’t travel to Portugal as planned’.

The Bournemouth defender has shone in the Premier League this season and for Man Utd ‘the signing of Huijsen has been seen as a long-term investment to strengthen their defence, an area the club has sought to reinforce over the past few seasons’.
It is claimed that Amorim has ‘shown a clear interest in the defender, trusting in his youth and potential to quickly adapt to the high competitive level demanded by the Premier League’.
Former Man Utd defender Paul Parker reckons imminent signing Dorgu will be thrown straight into the side as Amorim will want a look at the Denmark international “straight away”.
Parker told Betfred: “I’d expect it because at the end of the day, there’s no point spending good money on a player and making them sit and watch. There’s no sitting and watching at Manchester United anymore. You get them in there straight away and have a look at them.
“There’s going to be some good things, there’s going to be some bad things, but from what you hear, he’s very good at going forward. If he’s going to play as a wing-back, being more forward orientated is always a plus because for example, Diogo Dalot is a full-back, not a
