MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly on the verge of signing Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham.
That’s after Chelsea seemingly torpedoed Marc Cucurella’s loan transfer by playing him in yesterday’s Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon.
The Red Devils are in search of a new left-back before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Cucurella had been touted as a potential target but United now have doubts after he played for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
According to The Athletic, Erik ten Hag is considering a loan deal for Reguilon instead.
And a deal appears to be close, with United on the verge of landing him from Spurs until next summer.

The report adds that Cucurella will remain an option until the very end but that a move for the Spaniard is now more complicated.
United are making their decision based on both football and financial factors this week.
Cucurella is cup-tied from the Carabao Cup after starting Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Wimbledon on Wednesday.
Ten Hag’s side are set to enter the competition in the third round at the end of September and have been drawn at home to Crystal Palace.

As for Reguilon, he is yet to play for Spurs this season after returning from a loan spell with Atletico Madrid.
United are keen to bring in a left-back before Friday’s 11pm deadline due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Their absences have left Alvaro Fernandez as the only recognised left-back available to Ten Hag.
The 20-year-old has yet to make his senior United debut after spending last season on loan at Preston.
