On the last day transfer In the summer, MU promptly completed 3 additions to the Erik ten Hag squad: goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce, left-back Sergio Reguilon of Tottenham and midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.
Both Reguilon and Amrabat signed 1-year contracts on loan and MU You can buy it outright if you want. However, the Red Devils also put a ‘return’ clause in the middle of the season, in case they disappoint.
MU initially aimed to borrow Marc Cucurella of Chelsea to quickly replenish the left-back position when both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia were injured. But because of the £7 million fee (while also having to spend money to sign Amrabat) that the Blues requested, Tottenham’s decision to switch to Reguilon was free.
With the ownership of Reguilon, MU marked in the squad with a player from Tottenham after 15 years of “extraordinary relationship”.
That’s because Sir Alex has vowed never to have any dealings with them since the Red Devils were sold by Chairman Daniel Levy and Tottenham to transfer Berbatov in 2008 until the last day of the transfer to get the highest price.
Reflecting on this story, Sir Alex once said: “The whole experience was more painful than my hip replacement.”
In fact, MU wanted to buy Harry Kane from Tottenham this summer, but also saw the difficulties in negotiating with the London team so they gave up.
Signing Sergio Reguilon came easily because this player had no place at Tottenham, and last season also went to Atletico on loan.
