Manchester United are reportedly showing some interest in re-signing Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon following his loan spell at Old Trafford last season.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in re-signing Tottenham Hotspur full-back Sergio Reguilon.

The Spaniard spent two seasons in the Tottenham squad after joining the North London club from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020.

Reguilon, 27, was then allowed to return to his homeland to join Atletico Madrid on loan for the 2022-23 season.

Upon his return to Tottenham, Reguilon was swiftly sent out on loan to Manchester United for what was supposed to be a season-long loan move.

Reguilon made 12 competitive appearances before Man United opted to activate a break clause in the January transfer window to bring the loan spell to a premature end.

Man United considering Reguilon move

The left-back subsequently spent the second half of the campaign with Brentford, where he contributed four assists in 16 matches.

Reguilon may have returned to his parent club, but he is expected to move on again as Ange Postecoglou looks to make room for potential additions.

According to Spanish outlet AS, Man United have expressed an interest in bringing Reguilon back to Old Trafford this summer.

The Tottenham defender is also believed to be a potential target for West Ham United and Italian giants Juventus.

Do Man United need a new left-back?

Man United manager Erik ten Hag can call upon Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as his two main left-back options.

However, Shaw and Malacia both struggled with injury issues throughout the 2023-24 campaign, forcing Ten Hag to utilise the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Diogo Dalot and Victor Lindelof on the left side of defence.

While Reguilon would not be regarded as a first-choice option, his signing would provide vital cover in an injury-hit position.

However, there is certainly some doubt as to whether Man United would seriously consider re-signing a player that they were happy to let go midway through a season-long loan deal.
