An alleged sighting of fabled Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia has been exposed as another elaborate hoax, Paddy Power News can reveal.
The latest cruel prank comes on the eve of United’s must-win FA Cup 5th round clash against Nottingham Forest with manager Erik ten Hag facing another defensive injury crisis.

Edible enthusiast, Connor Spiracy (36), claims he saw Malacia in Manchester and even had photographic evidence to back it up.
The flat-earther said he captured the footage at the Trafford Centre food court and claims the images he uploaded to social media were shared by thousands of people ‘around the globe’.
‘I was in the queue for KFC, when suddenly, I heard a rustling in the plastic bushes’, recalled Connor.
‘Much to my surprise, a Tyrell Malacia emerged from the rubber thicket’.
When asked to describe what a Malacia looked like, Connor replied:
‘It was a well-rested looking creature, very relaxed’.
‘But when it spotted a guy wearing a replica Manchester United jersey in the queue, the beast became agitated and disappeared from sight’, he added.
Local researcher, Dr Harry Henderson, has spent the last twelve months searching the Greater Manchester area for the 24-year-old left-back.
‘I’m 100% convinced in the existence of Malacias’, Dr Henderson told Paddy Power News.
‘These magnificent creatures usually hibernate for two or three months a season but for some reason they’ve remained dormant for almost a year’.
However, many esteemed Mancunian scientists discount the existence of Malacias and consider it to be a combination of folklore and misidentification.
Manchester zoologist Bruce Irwin believes the latest supposed sighting is nothing more than another hoax.
‘There is no such thing as a Malacia’, blasted Irwin.
‘No data other than fabricated material has ever been presented.’
‘Malacia sightings at Manchester United? What next? A trophy spotted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? A fully developed moustache spotted on Gary Neville’s upper lip?’.
‘Manchester City receiving any sort of punishment for their 115 FFP charges? Sorry. Now I’m just being ridiculous.’
