Manchester United Sign Tottenham Defender Sergio Reguilon on Season-Long Loan Deal
Manchester United have signed Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon on a season-long loan deal. Following injury to Luke Shaw, the club quickly scoured the market for emergency options at left-back. While they held advanced talks to sign Chelsea ace Marc Cucurella, United settled on a more affordable move for Reguilon.
The former Real Madrid ace joined Tottenham from the Bernabeu in 2020, when United were also interested in him. The Spaniard, 27, says he couldn’t reject the chance to move to Old Trafford.
Reguilon’s Career
Reguilon began his career with Real Madrid’s youth team in 2013, and made his senior debut for the club in 2018. He spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid, where he made 33 appearances and scored two goals. He joined Tottenham in 2020, and has since made 28 appearances for the club.
Reguilon’s Reaction
“In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an illustrious history is one that I could not turn down,” said Reguilon. “Having spoken to the manager, I know what he needs from me, and I am ready to play my part in helping the team to achieve success. I know that I can contribute to Manchester United this season; I am ready to fight for this group and show everyone my qualities.”
Manchester United’s Need for a Left-Back
The signing of Reguilon comes as a result of Manchester United’s need for a left-back following the injury to Luke Shaw. United had been looking at Marc Cucurella as a potential signing, but ultimately opted for the more affordable option of Reguilon. It is expected that Reguilon will be a key player for United this season, and will be a valuable asset in their quest for success.
