David de Gea responds to the news about the player who joined Manchester United.
Sergio Reguilon announced on Instagram that he has joined Manchester United after his loan transfer from Tottenham Hotspur was completed on Friday.
The Red Devils recruited the Spain international left-back as a short-term replacement for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, who were both injured.
While the agreement is for a season-long loan (with no fee or option to purchase) until June 2024, there is a break clause in January that could result in his return to Spurs.
Reguilon’s wages will also be covered by the club, and he intends to impress manager Erik ten Hag with his performances and potentially earn a permanent transfer.
David de Gea, a former Red Devils goalkeeper and international teammate of the 26-year-old, posted the following message in the comments section of the player’s Instagram post, in which he stated that he is very pleased to be playing for Manchester United.
The Spanish goalkeeper departed Old Trafford after his contract expired earlier this summer and is still looking for a new team.
Despite the manner in which his departure was managed, De Gea remains a Manchester United fan, and he is thrilled to see his compatriot join the club.
Reguilon could make his debut on Sunday against Arsenal after registering before the midday deadline.
Ten Hag confirmed that the left-back had already trained with his new colleagues, and he could replace Diogo Dalot in the starting lineup if the manager deems him superior.
Reguilon is the only primary left-back currently available for selection at Manchester United after Alvaro Fernandez’s loan transfer to Granada CF was finalized last night.
After falling out of favor at Tottenham and spending last season on loan at Atletico Madrid, he must establish his worth, and he possesses the skills and abilities to do so.
