Ten Hag confirms ‘clause’ in Man Utd star’s deal that allows him to leave in Jan

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed that there's a 'break clause' in Sergio Reguilon's contract which could see him return to Tottenham in January.

The Spanish player joined Man Utd on loan in September after injuries hit Ten Hag's preferred left-backs, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Despite his own injury and illness issues, Reguilon has managed 10 appearances for the club.

However, with Shaw back in action and Malacia nearing full fitness, Reguilon's future at Old Trafford is uncertain. Before their recent defeat to Bournemouth, Ten Hag admitted that the former Real Madrid player's future was unclear (via the Mirror).

He told reporters: "We have to make a final decision on Reguilon. But also there is Spurs who are involved in that conversation as well." Reguilon made his way into Real's senior team in 2018, but after only 14 La Liga games, he was loaned to Sevilla the next season.

He bagged the Europa League trophy there, before heading to north London to play under Jose Mourinho in September 2020. However, two years later, he was back on loan in Spain, this time with Atletico Madrid. He returned in the summer, only to then join United, a deal that might now be cut short.
