Man Utd Reach Agreement to Sign Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham
Sergio Reguilon Now Undergoing Medical Tests
After the injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, United were without a senior left-back in the squad. According to Romano, the 20-time Premier League champions are on the verge of bringing in Reguilon on a loan deal. The 26-year-old is currently undergoing medical tests, before a deal can be completed, which has a clause to break the loan in January.
The Spurs full-back was evidently out of favour as he had not featured once this season under Ange Postecoglou. Amidst all the tension of the fast-approaching transfer deadline, Manchester United have found their target to alleviate their injury woes – and they are seemingly are close to getting their man.
