Manchester United are set to sign Tottenham's Sergio Reguilon after the left-back passed a medical at the Old Trafford club.

Shaw and Malacia both injured
Cucurella move potentially scuppered
Reguilon set to sign on loan

WHAT HAPPENED? The Red Devils' search for a left-back is almost over as The Athletic reports they are on the verge of confirming the loan signing of Reguilon after he passed a medical on Thursday. The deal will be a season-long with no option to sign him outright and Untied could end the spell in January.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: United have reportedly been tracking Reguilon — who hasn't yet featured for Tottenham this season — for a while. They were reported to be lining up a shock loan bid for Chelsea's Marc Cucurella earlier this week after seeing Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia ruled out through injury. United are desperate to get a left-back through the door before the window shuts, and Reguilon, who spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid, looks set to fill the spot.
