Sergio Reguilon Making a Significant Impact at Manchester United Soon After Joining Old Trafford. If only looking at the 4-3 result, many fans will think that Manchester United just had a very good match, causing many difficulties for Bayern Munich. However, the duel at Allianz Arena turned into a race to see whose defense made more mistakes. In the end, the “winning” side was coach Erik ten Hag’s team.
However, amidst teammates appearing disheartened and lackluster, Sergio Reguilon stood out as a rare beacon of light. It’s worth noting that this was only his second start for Manchester United, yet he demonstrated his potential to become a genuine competitor for Luke Shaw’s position. The former Real Madrid defender appeared strong and decisive in each situation. According to Sofascore data, Sergio Reguilon made 2 accurate tackles, and had 2 interceptions along with 3 successful passes.
Then in the second half, Andre Onana rediscovered his ego with a series of important saves. Sergio Reguilon has many times jumped into debates to claim the rights of the home team. Not every rookie can do like the Spanish player. Now, Manchester United is somewhat assured about the left-back position.
During the 2023 summer transfer window, Manchester United secured Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. At one point, the club had their eyes on Marc Cucurella, a player deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea. However, fate brought Sergio Reguilon to Manchester United instead.
According to The Athletic, Luke Shaw sustained a muscle injury and will be sidelined until November 2023. This means that Sergio Reguilon will be the preferred choice for Manchester United’s left-back position for at least the next month, providing him with an opportunity to prove himself and potentially earn a long-term contract with the Red Devils.
Having squad depth is crucial for any team aspiring to conquer major titles. With Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka already in the mix, Manchester United can now foster competition on the left wing with Sergio Reguilon emerging as a worthy challenger to Luke Shaw
