“We’ve been told” – Sky Sports reporter now says Man Utd are keen to sign “phenomenal” star

Manchester United have added Sergio Reguilon to a ‘long list’ of Old Trafford targets, and a late deal with Tottenham Hotspur might be done following a dramatic development, according to Sky Sports writer Michael Bridge.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of the Red Devils, has set his sights on conducting additional business before the summer window closes on Friday at 11 p.m.

Sergio Reguilon, Manchester United transfer news

According to the Manchester Evening News, Reguilon has been highlighted as a target and might be at Old Trafford before the deadline.

According to the source, Manchester United have long admired the Spaniard, who cost Tottenham up to £32 million when he arrived from Real Madrid three years ago, after first attempting to sign him before signing Alex Telles.

Reguilon has returned to Tottenham after spending last season on loan with Atletico Madrid, although he is not in Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou’s plans.

That might open the door for Manchester United, who are looking for a new left-back after Luke Shaw was forced to miss at least six weeks with a muscle problem.

However, the Red Devils are not the only club interested in providing Reguilon with a Premier League lifeline, with Fulham and Nottingham Forest also interested after being judged surplus to requirements at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Respected journalist Paul Brown recently told GIVEMESPORT that if Manchester United makes a good bid, a deal for the 26-year-old will be simple.

What did Michael Bridge have to say about Reguilon?

Bridge understands that Reguilon, who has been hailed as ‘phenomenal’ by journalist Alasdair Gold, is one of a slew of targets for Manchester United as the transfer season closes.

The Sky Sports writer is aware that the Red Devils would prefer to negotiate a loan move and that Tottenham are looking to unload the ex-Sevilla man.

What’s next for Manchester United?

Reguilon is not the only Tottenham player on Manchester United’s radar, as ten Hag is exploring a late move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, according to the Telegraph.

According to the source, the Red Devils have been given the opportunity to begin discussions since Spurs are eager to trade the central midfielder, who has been with the north Londoners since a £15 million move from Southampton three years ago.

Tottenham paid £40 million for Hojbjerg earlier this summer, and Manchester United may pounce after a move to La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid fell through.

Although Saudi Arabia has expressed interest in the Danish international, he prefers to stay in Europe if he takes on a new challenge.
