Tottenham Hotspur outcast Sergio Reguilon is keen on returning to Manchester United this summer, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported.
The left-back, who joined Man United on loan on transfer deadline day last summer, saw his temporary deal cut short by the Red Devils in January as they hoped for a return of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia to full fitness.
Six months later, both Erik ten Hag’s left-backs are missing from Man United’s pre-season tour in the United States, leaving the Premier League giants short of options again ahead of the new season.
According to Romano, United are yet to advance on a deal for Reguilon, who spent the last six months on loan at Brentford.
In the meantime, the Red Devils’ youngsters Sam Murray and Harry Amass have a chance to prove themselves as United prepare for the new season without any first-team left-backs present in the squad.
Reguilon, who has one year left on his Tottenham deal, is not expected to feature for the north London outfit ever again – together with winger Bryan Gil, he was left out of Spurs’ pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea.

Reguilon was an instrumental part of Thomas Frank’s tactics in the second part of the season and made 16 appearances in the league, registering four assists for the Bees.
Ten Hag has shown a tendency to re-sign players he has previously worked with – Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat’s return has not been ruled out yet as well with the Moroccan reportedly also desperate to return to Old Trafford.
Another deadline day signing, the Moroccan showed glimpses of promise in the latter stages of the previous campaign as United are yet to make up their mind on the 27-year-old.
After confirming the arrivals of striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro, the Red Devils are now expected to address other areas within the squad, including central midfield and left-back.
Manchester United have internally discussed signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney – the England international’s exit from Brentford is ‘one to watch’, according to The Athletic.
With just 12 months left on his current deal, the 28-year-old could depart the Bees before the transfer window shuts on August 30.
