What 'sources' close to Man Utd player are saying about Celtic transfer links

Sources close to Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia have reportedly not yet heard anything from Celtic

The Parkhead club have been mentioned as a potential suitor for the out-of-favour Dutchman. 

Malacia joined United in the summer of 2022 from Feyenoord. He has since made 47 appearances for the Old Trafford club. 

He spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven.

With a year remaining on his United deal, the 25-year-old's future remains up in the air this summer. 

According to Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof, sources close to Malacia have 'not yet' heard anything from Celtic. They are said to be 'surprised' by reports linking the defender with a move to Parkhead. 

Blaauwhof adds that there is an offer on the table from Saudi Arabia for Malacia, but 'nothing more'. 

Celtic remain in the market for reinforcements this summer. 

Brendan Rodgers, however, is relaxed, knowing that his club usually do business late on in the window: "I'm philosophical about it," he said at a press conference on Thursday. 

"The club has always notoriously done business towards the end of the window. I've said it before, all coaches and managers want the players in as soon as we can, because pre-season is for preparation, and you want to be as prepared as you can possibly be.

"Regardless of the players we get in or not, what I know is that the players that are here, what has gone unnoticed a little bit is that we've made a really good start. We've had two really good wins and played well. I know we'll get better, but I can't knock the performances over the two games to get the results.

"That has been clouded a wee bit in all this sort of negativity around the transfers. So I'm really trying to focus on the guys that are here; there is lots of stuff going on in the background.

"Hopefully, we can come out of the end of the market in a good place."
