Manchester United is close to the arrival of Sergio Reguilón. According to information from The Athletic, the club has been given permission by Tottenham Hotspur to invite Reguilón for a medical examination, indicating an agreement between the two clubs.
This week, it became clear that Manchester United is working on the arrival of Reguilón. The addition of a left-back is deemed necessary as Luke Shaw is sidelined with a muscle injury, and Tyrell Malacia has been unfit since the start of the preparation. In the match against Nottingham Forest (3-2 victory) on Saturday, Erik ten Hag chose to deploy Diogo Dalot, typically a right-back, on the left wing.
Manchester United also considered Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, but his potential arrival was complicated by the fact that Cucurella played in the EFL Cup match against AFC Wimbledon (2-1 victory) on Wednesday. Here's why: if Manchester United were to send Cucurella back to Chelsea in the winter, he wouldn't be eligible to be loaned to another club anymore, as he would have played for three clubs in one season.
Reguilón was loaned to Atlético Madrid last season and was not part of Tottenham's match squad for the first four official matches of the current season. If Manchester United has its way, Reguilón won't be the last addition. Ten Hag also hopes to secure Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina. Moreover, there are rumors of discussions for the arrival of Nicolás Tagliafico (Olympique Lyonnais) and another Tottenham player: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Time is short as the transfer market closes on Friday evening.
