Reguilon has impressed throughout last season after spending the campaign out on-loan with Sevilla.
The Spaniard’s efforts helped guide Sevilla to their record breaking sixth Europa League trophy after they beat Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan 3-2 in last season’s final.
As the young full-back returned to parent club Real Madrid, speculation surrounding his long-term future has grown after it emerged that United are very keen on securing his services.
According to leading journalist Fabrizio Romano, Zinedine Zidane has recently offered the left-back to United but the Reds are rumoured not to be the only top European side trying to sign Reguilon.
