Man Utd explain Reguilon loan ending
Manchester United have revealed why they cut short Sergio Reguilon’s loan from Tottenham.
He played just 12 games for Erik ten Hag’s men and made little impact at Old Trafford.
And with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia set to return soon from their respective injuries, they do not feel Reguilon would be given sufficient game time during the second half of the campaign.
A club statement read: “Sergio fulfilled the role he was brought in for: to provide cover for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia while both were out with long-term injuries.
“While Luke has missed the past two games with a minor injury, the England international is expected back soon. Tyrell, meanwhile, is getting closer to a return from his knee injury.
“The versatile Diogo Dalot can also provide further cover at left-back.
“With fewer games in the second half of the season and injured players returning, there will be less opportunity for Sergio to play.
“It was decided it was in the best interests of all parties for Reguilon to return to Spurs.”
Bayern plot move for United target
Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up a move for Manchester United target Serhou Guirassy.
There has been a host of speculation surrounding Guirassy's future in recent weeks, with Manchester United said to be exploring the possibility of bringing him to Old Trafford during the January transfer window.
Meanwhile, both Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are thought to be keen on a player who has a £15.1million release clause in his contract at Stuttgart despite only joining the club on a permanent basis last summer.
According to Bild, Bayern are huge admirers of Guirassy and are planning to make a move for him at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
Tottenham eye Serie A defender
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to submit a fresh proposal to sign Genoa star Radu Dragusin, as per the transfer journalist Rudy Galetti.
A few names have been mentioned as potential targets for the North London club with Jean-Clair Todibo being among them, but Dragusin has emerged as the primary option in recent times.
It has previously been reported that Tottenham have already opened formal talks with Genoa to sign Dragusin and they have already agreed personal terms with the Romanian.
It has also been suggested that Genoa want a fee of at least £26m to sell their star man but Spurs launched an opening offer of around £20m. However, the Serie A side rejected that proposal.
Gunners eye in-demand centre-back
Arsenal are interested in Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio with A Bola claiming the Portuguese side are concerned he could leave.
The 22-year-old centre-back is often linked with Europe’s top clubs, including Manchester United.
Potter targeted by Man Utd
Manchester United have informally sounded out Graham Potter with a view to the former Chelsea boss replacing Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
While appointing a sporting director and new CEO is a priority, there are strong question marks over Ten Hag’s future at the club.
INEOS would prefer to leave Ten Hag in place until at least the end of the season to see if United can turn around their form as the likes of Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez return to fitness.
But there is an acceptance that results of late cannot continue and ESPN say Potter has been ‘informally’ sounded out about his availability.
Liverpool deny Arsenal Jones interest
Liverpool are not aware of any interest from Arsenal regarding Curtis Jones, according to Anfield Watch.
Jones has developed into a key player for Jurgen Klopp over the last 12 months and is arguably now the preferred option on the left side of the manager's midfield three when available.
Some reports have claimed that Premier League rivals Arsenal have taken an interest in Jones ahead of a possible summer move. However, this is wide of the mark.
Those rumours were then fuelled by a report which claimed that Jones used to broadcast his boyhood fandom of the Gunners at the Reds' training ground as a youngster.
Anfield Watch understands that Liverpool are very much the homegrown star's club and that his intention is to keep performing and earning the manager's faith.
