Erik ten Hag admits that Sergio Reguilon could leave Manchester United in January 2024.
The Manchester United head coach said this while also announcing that the club have not yet decided on the future of Tottenham Hotspur's on-loan defender Sergio Reguilon.
Reguilon was signed by Manchester United on transfer deadline day due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, and has since made nine appearances for the Old Trafford occupants.
The 26-year-old has missed playing time due to injury this season, but he has participated in United's last three Premier League matches and made a strong impression when he came on as a substitute against Chelsea on Wednesday night, December 6.
However, the Red Devils suffered a humiliating 3-0 loss against Bournemouth, highlighting several issues that could potentially derail United's season.
Despite a recent victory over Chelsea, United's performance regressed to a sloppy form that has plagued them throughout the season.
Bournemouth's goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing, and Marcos Senesi led to an unforgettable win at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag and his players being booed off the field at the end of the match.
Despite Manchester United's 3-0 defeat, Reguilon made an impressive performance against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday, December 9.
The 26-year-old has appeared in six Premier League matches and has played in two Champions League games against Bayern Munich and Copenhagen this season.
The loan agreement between Manchester United and Tottenham includes a break clause, which could allow Reguilon to return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January.
United boss Ten Hag has confirmed the existence of this clause, and activating it would send the defender back to North London for the remainder of the season.
Meanwhile, Reguilon's future at Tottenham is uncertain and Manchester United have not yet made a decision, according to Ten Hag.
The Dutch manager mentioned that Tottenham will need to be part of the discussions to determine Reguilon's fate.
Ten Hag said: "We still need to make a final decision, but Spurs is also involved in the mix."
Following United's 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, Ten Hag expressed his frustration and disappointment with his team's lacklustre performance, stating that he had expected and hoped for a better showing after their previous game against Chelsea.
He added: “Of course, annoyed and disappointed. I expected something different."
“I hoped before the game you can build on the performance and result from Chelsea, so then it’s very disappointing.
At the moment, Manchester United are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table, trailing fourth-placed Manchester City by three points having played one game more than the current Premier League champions.
The Red Devils' next game is a Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich, this time at Old Trafford on Tuesday, December 12 with kick-off set at 21:00.
