Granada Will Sign Fernandez on Loan
Manchester United will send their young full-back out on loan to Spanish side Granada after wrapping up the signing of Reguilon from Tottenham. The “brilliant” youngster is expected to leave before the transfer deadline day comes to a close. Sky Sports reported that the clubs are currently working on the paperwork to finalise the deal.

After injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, the Spaniard was the only left-back remaining in the squad and expected to play a big role in the coming days. However, rapid transfer activity from the Red Devils meant that they acquired a seasoned left-back in Reguilon close to the deadline day.
Erik ten Hag will presumably use Diogo Dalot as a backup left-back to the former Spurs man. The Portuguese has deputized in that role before in his career.
