Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou may not have considered Sergio Reguilon good enough for his team, but the left-back seems to have impressed Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Sergio Reguilon, who joined Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspur on loan in the summer transfer window, is playing matches regularly for the Red Devils at the moment.
Even when he is ill and not 100%.
Tottenham Hotspur-owned Sergio Reguilon impresses for Manchester United
United took on Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils won 1-0.
Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
Reguilon started the match at left-back and played for 79 minutes.
The left-back played well and produced a consistent level of performance.
The Spain international did not get forward as much as he did against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Defensively, though, Reguilon was very good and disciplined and did the job well against a Burnley side that could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Reguilon, 26, had a pass accuracy of 74.1%, took 45 touches, made one tackle, one interception and two clearances, and put in three crosses.
Erik ten Hag praise for Sergio Reguilon
After the match, United manager Erik ten Hag said that Reguilon was ill but still played against Burnley, noting his character and determination to play for the team.
Ten Hag told United’s official website: “Reguilon was ill, but he wanted to play and that tells you something about the character and the spirit they want to show.
“He wanted to support the team and he wanted to contribute.”
