Sergio Reguilon may join Manchester United permanently from Tottenham Hotspur in the upcoming January transfer window, according to a report from the Manchester Evening News, if he continues to impress while on loan.
Reguilon’s So Far Loan Period With Manchester United
Reguilon is doing well on loan at Old Trafford after putting on some noteworthy performances at the heart of United’s defense. Although he hasn’t been effective in the final third, he has played three times for the Red Devils and is still a solid defender.
In the Premier League, he averaged 1.5 tackles, 1.5 clearances, 1.0 crucial passes, and 1.0 dribbles per game and has been a reliable presence on Erik ten Hag’s left side of the defense. He has also been effective at passing the ball, completing 81.7% of his attempts in the English top division, according to statistics from whoscored.
At the conclusion of this season, will Ten Hag extend him a permanent contract?
Sergio Reguilon, who joined Manchester United from Tottenham on a season-long loan in the summer of 2023, has made a good impression at Old Trafford. If Reguilon keeps up his strong play, the possibility of a permanent transfer to United either during the upcoming January transfer window or at the end of the current campaign could be on the horizon. Before a choice is decided, though, a number of criteria will be taken into consideration.
First, Ten Hag will keep a careful eye on Reguilon’s performances throughout season. A persuasive case for a permanent deal would be made by consistent performance, but any declines in performance could sway Ten Hag’s judgment.
Second, Ten Hag needs to consider his left-back possibilities. Luke Shaw is United’s starting left-back, but in recent years, he has struggled with injuries. Another choice is Tyrell Malacia, who is still a young and rising athlete.
A long-term arrangement might be in the works if Ten Hag has faith in Reguilon’s capability to protect Shaw. Reguilon may not always be the best choice, thus Ten Hag may look into other transfer market choices.
