Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is set to bring in Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham due to injuries, with the Spaniard set to become the club's third senior left-back

A little over 12 months on from the capture of Tyrell Malacia, Erik ten Hag has been forced to source emergency cover with the Dutchman and Luke Shaw both expected to be sidelined for a significant period through injury.

The Athletic have outlined that 'financial and football' factors drove United's pursuit of Reguilon; it's believed a deal for the Spaniard will involve no loan fee, which could help the club to facilitate an agreement with Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat, another deadline day target. With Shaw believed to be on around £150,000-a-week and Malacia earning a sum in the region of £75,000-a-week, the Red Devils will be paying a small fortune in wages until Reguilon, presumably, returns to Tottenham in January courtesy of a break clause.Although injuries have played a part in United's need for a left-back, the arrival of Reguilon has drawn attention to last summer's deal for Malacia.

12 months on, there is every chance he will be joined there by Reguilon once Shaw makes a return to full fitness. Considering funds are tight at United, that's a fairly damning indictment of their recent strategy; particularly as another left-back, the highly-rated Alvaro Fernandez - who has been courted by Premier League rivals Burnley - is also still at the club.
