Tyrell Malacia played his final game for Manchester United as a second-half substitute against Brighton.

It was confirmed last week that Tyrell Malacia will leave Manchester United this summer when his contract with the club expires.

Michael Carrick praised Malacia in his end-of-season speech at Old Trafford last week, and in the 3-0 win against Brighton he brought him on for a late cameo.

United fans gave a fitting tribute to Malacia ahead of his exit. Despite his injury-plagued time at the club, he leaves the club in good spirits.
