But Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co. will have just two days to get a deal done, with the Turkish window closing on Friday.
The extended transfer period in Turkey has again offered to bail out United after calamity goalkeeper Andre Onana agreed to join Trabzonspor on loan .
It comes after talks with LaLiga side Elche over a loan move for Malacia collapsed on deadline day on September 1.
All parties involved were unable to agree on the inclusion of a clause to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
It left the Dutch star as the only member of the group brutally exiled from the squad by Ruben Amorim without a transfer.
Jadon Sancho agreed a deadline day loan to join Aston Villa, who will cover 80 per cent of his £250,000-per-week salary.
Meanwhile, Antony finally got his permanent move to Real Betis after reigniting his career while on loan there in the final months of last season.
Marcus Rashford, who scored England’s fifth goal against Serbia on Tuesday night, secured a loan switch to Barcelona earlier in the window.
Malacia's Old Trafford contract is set to expire next summer, although the club have an option to extend for a further year.
He made just four appearances in total last season before spending the second half of last term on loan with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.
Malacia has made just 47 appearances at United since his £13million switch from Feyenoord in 2022, with the majority of those coming in his first season under former boss Erik ten Hag.
