The left-back had surgery during the offseason and then required another operation following an unspecified setback.
He has not played yet this season and United did not give a firm date on his expected return to action.
“Unfortunately, he suffered a setback during his rehabilitation, which required further surgery,” United said in a statement. “This has been successfully completed and Malacia is now back at Carrington working hard to be fit early in the New Year.”
Malacia joined United from Feyenoord last season in a deal worth around 13 million pounds ($16 million).
The Netherlands international’s last appearance was for his country in the Nations League semifinals against Croatia in June.
