Erik ten Hag provides Sergio Reguilon fitness update ahead of Brentford clash

Manchester United have not been able to recover Sergio Reguilon for Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford, with the defender remaining on the sidelines.

The Red Devils currently have severe issues at full-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the sidelines due to injury problems.

Reguilon was signed on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in response to the injury to Shaw, who is not expected to be available for selection until the middle of November.

The Spaniard has made three appearances for the 20-time English champions this season, but he went off unwell against Burnley on September 23 before it was revealed that he had a hamstring issue.

The 26-year-old has since missed out against Crystal Palace (twice) and Galatasaray with the problem.

Man United were allegedly hopeful of having the left-back available for Saturday's game with Brentford, but he will again miss out, which is likely to lead to Sofyan Amrabat again featuring in that area of the field.

"Not for tomorrow", said Ten Hag when asked about a possible return for Reguilon.

The Red Devils have lost six of their 10 matches in all competitions this season, including four of their first seven Premier League games in their worst start to a league campaign for 34 years.

The team have lost their last two at home to Palace and Galatasaray, meanwhile, and there is huge pressure on Ten Hag to deliver a positive result against Brentford this weekend.

Jadon Sancho is still missing from the first-team environment due to his falling-out with Ten Hag, but Antony featured as a second-half substitute against Galatasaray after returning from a leave of absence.

The Brazil international is now in line to feature from the first whistle against Brentford, with the Man United boss revealing that the attacker is 'ready for a start'.

However, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are missing alongside full-backs Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Malacia and Reguilon.

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice during an impressive performance against Galatasaray, and the Denmark international is set to continue in the final third, while Marcus Rashford is also expected to keep his spot despite suggestions that the forward could be dropped due to his struggles early this season.
