Manchester United tipped to sign Sergio Reguilon and three other players before transfer deadline

Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has tipped the club to seal the signing of Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid. Also, Ferdinand thinks that the Red Devils should make signings in defence and attack. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have only signed Donny van de Beek from Ajax so far during this transfer window. The Red Devils are preparing for their Premier League opener, which will be against Crystal Palace on Saturday, September 19. “I would say definitely after Van de Beek they need probably – if they’re going to really compete – three or four. Players that can go in and actually affect the first team, the first XI,” Ferdinand told BBC Radio 5 Live. “And Reguilon we’re talking about, the lad at Sevilla who’s from Real Madrid, he was voted the best left-back in La Liga so really good credentials. “Luke Shaw I think is unfortunate in terms of his injuries. He’s played games but then he hasn’t been able to sustain a full season without any injuries, which is disappointing. “But listen, if I was looking at it and looking at the team, in the forward areas I think one or two additions. “One definitely, maybe two, are needed that can come in and affect that first team and push people, if not start. “And then I think a centre-back. That area, for me, is where there’s a lack of real, genuine pace and I think the best teams around at the moment have a player in one of the two players that play [at centre-back] in a four that has genuine pace normally. “I think Liverpool are the team that’s dominated this season. “The two centre-backs can be sat on the halfway line, they’re sitting there purring, waiting to be taken on in a foot race back to the goal and they back themselves. “And with that, what that does as well, it’s not just about pace – knowing how to defend as well – but what that allows is more players to be able to go forward and pin the other team back in the opposing team’s third, which is, the way the game is played today, very critical.” source - Express Join us on Telegram
