Manchester United is facing a crucial test against Brentford, and they are eagerly awaiting an injury boost with the potential return of Sergio Reguilon.
Manchester United, led by manager Erik ten Hag, is currently grappling with a challenging season, losing six of their ten games in all competitions. The pressure is mounting on the former Ajax manager to turn things around.
Manchester United’s left-back position has been plagued by injuries, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia sidelined. Since joining the club this summer, this has forced Sofyan Amrabat to step into the role. However, Amrabat has struggled to provide the attacking quality that players like Shaw and Reguilon would offer on the left side of United’s attack.
According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United is closely monitoring Sergio Reguilon’s fitness to determine if he can return in the upcoming game against Brentford. Originally, this was the expected date for Reguilon’s comeback.
Reguilon sustained a hamstring injury during the win against Burnley on September 23. While he did not participate in team training at United’s Carrington training complex on Monday, he has been undergoing individual sessions on the grass as part of his recovery process.
Sergio Reguilon had a promising start at Manchester United before his injury setback at Turf Moor. His return to the first team could have a profound impact, especially on Marcus Rashford. Rashford, often deployed as a full-back in Reguilon’s absence, could return to his best form as a winger. With Reguilon providing width and attacking threat on the left flank, Rashford can focus on his natural attacking role.
Moreover, Reguilon’s partnership with Rashford showed promise before his injury, and their rekindling could bring the best out of the Englishman. Reguilon’s return may allow Sofyan Amrabat to move to his preferred midfield position, providing United with more depth and options in the squad.
