Sergio Reguilon joined Manchester United back in the summer of 2023 on loan terms. Having an instant impact on the fans, many fans started to love him from the go. When the injury crisis across the defense happened over Man Utd, many believed Reguilon had been the only one performing.
Earning the love and affection of the fans, many were bewildered as Manchester United terminated Reguilon’s loan move on January 4th, 2024. It was informed that Man Utd terminated the loan move because they had long-term injured players, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia returning from injuries.

But just a day later from the reports of Miguel Delaney, “Manchester United may need a full-back to replace Sergio Reguilon and the open channel with Tottenham Hotspur has raised the prospect of Ryan Sessegnon.” We got to capture several reactions from the fans.
While some Spurs fans were crying with laughter, Manchester United fans were shocked why did they terminate Sergio Reguilon’s loan move then? One Manchester United fan reacted by saying, “Honestly what’s the point?“, which several Manchester United fans agree with as well.
Having been partially taken over by Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently, many fans are starting to question their transfer strategy as well. With the season already not going in favor of the fans, if they get to see yet another injury-prone player we believe they won’t be happy yet.
Manchester United have already been knocked out of Europe and will be having way less amount of matches in the second half of the season. With injured players slowly returning many believe it will be yet another failed signing made by Manchester United.
Ryan Sessegnon stats at Tottenham Hotspurs
Ryan Sessegnon is a 23-year-old left-back who joined Tottenham Hotspurs from Fulham for $30 million back in 2019. Holding a massive potential, several top clubs were after him back in 2019. With his currently linked club, Manchester United as well.
Ryan Sessegnon has been a versatile player who holds the ability to play on either flank. Being a versatile player and also a player with incredible potential, many believed Spurs had just signed a precious gem of a player at such a rate.
I think we need to consider terminating his contract. We’ve already got 5 LB’s at the club, Sessegnon’s availability with his never ending injury record isn’t sustainable. I mean 74 days out with a bruise?😑 And he’s also just not good enough, defensively non-existent. https://t.co/xrhRzeujGw pic.twitter.com/YUVvHXbdoi

But ever since his transfer, things haven’t been looking pretty for the left-back. Mainly the Hamstring injury but several other knocks as well have hampered his consistency. Being 4 years since his arrival, Sessegnon has featured across just 56 matches across all competitions.
Within these 56 matches, Sessegnon has scored 3 goals and has provided his team with 4 assists. Being a defender he has also helped his team keep 18 clean sheets as well. Holding a struggling issue with his hamstrings, Sessegnon hasn’t had the start he would have wished for across the Premier League.
The future of Ryan Sessegnon at Spurs remains unwritten. But one thing’s for sure his journey is far from over. Aged just 23 years old, he has several years up ahead. Once he recovers back from the injuries he has been suffering, no doubt he’ll look to unleash his talent and succeed in the future.
