Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has two chances to prove Erik ten Hag right

Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has the perfect opportunity to remind Erik ten Hag that he deserves a spot in the club's starting XI.

After being substituted at half-time during the 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City on October 2, Malacia has only played 25 minutes of Premier League football. The writing had somewhat been on the wall for the 23-year-old after he was also hooked off at the break against Omonia Nicosia in the match prior to the City loss.

There is no doubting that Malacia is talented, as he showed during a superb string of performances earlier in the season. However, Luke Shaw has since cemented himself as Ten Hag's starting left-back with a recent resurgence to form that will be all too familiar with a certain Brazilian full-back out on loan at Sevilla.
