Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has said he was "really happy" with Tyrell Malacia's comeback from injury against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.

The United full-back missed well over year of action due to injury and made his return to the starting XI in the Europa League on Thursday.

Malacia was taken off at half-time as his minutes are carefully managed. The Dutchman struggled at times and Philip Zinckernagel took full advantage of Malacia's lack of match sharpness to race away from him and put his side 2-1 up on the night.

"It was huge for him, the confidence of everybody, I think he did really well," he told MUTV. "It was more than a year without playing and the way he behaved, so brave with the ball, I'm really happy with him." United face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday as Amorim goes in search of his first league win as head coach.

The Portuguese's options in defence have been limited due to injuries since his arrival, though he revealed he could welcome back some of his injured stars this weekend. "Maybe, we have to see," he said when asked if any players could return on Sunday. "We have one more training, if not in the starting XI then they will be on the bench." There's plenty of deals to keep you warm from head to toe on match day.
