The Red Devils announced Malacia as their first signing of the 2022 summer transfer window.
Malacia signed a four-year deal until 2026 and is believed to have set United back β¬15m plus β¬2m in add-ons.
The full-back has since settled in nicely and has already begun to garner regular minutes at left-back for the Red Devils, keeping Luke Shaw on the bench in the process.
The defender, though, is still learning his craft and adapting to playing in the Premier League.
This is something Fernandes has been discussing in a recent interview, revealing that Malacia apologised to him after getting angry during a match vs Leicester earlier in the season.
Fernandes, speaking toΒ The Athletic, said: βI said, βTy, just put your head up and look to the other sideβ. He was quite angry with me because I was talking to him.
Fernandes added: βIn some games, it will be him shouting at me and I am OK with that,β Fernandes continued. βI remember with βHβ (Harry Maguire) in the Europa League against Copenhagen [in the 2019/20 campaign].
βWe were defending and I tried to control the ball and take on a defender. I lost the ball and he shouted at me, βBruno, hold the ballβ. I was tired and said, βDonβt shout!β In the first-half of extra time, I went up to him and said sorry for talking back. Sometimes, during games, it is tension, it is passion, you miss the ball, or he [a team-mate] doesnβt run. It gets a little bit fervent.
βBut nobody is doing it in a bad way. I never do it in a bad way β only if I see someone does not pass the ball when it is a two-v-one with the βkeeper.β
