Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that Sergio Reguilon has trained with the Reds, when speaking shortly before the Spaniard's loan signing was announced.

In his press conference to preview Sunday's Premier League match against Arsenal, Ten Hag was asked about Reguilon, who has been heavily linked with the Reds in recent days following the injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

"He is here, he trained," replied the Dutchman.

Erik revealed that the former Real Madrid left-back will be available for Sunday's trip to the Emirates Stadium, and elaborated on what he believes Sergio will bring to his team.

"He is a very experienced player, a player for big clubs, a player that's played already a lot of games in La Liga, in the Premier League," he explained.

"So, he has a very good background, we have seen he can play very intense football, so we are happy.

"While we had a problem with Luke Shaw injured, Ty[rell] Malacia injured, they are, for [the] long term, out, so I think we responded very well in that emergency situation."

Ten Hag also confirmed that new goalkeeping recruit Altay Bayindir is available for the weekend too, as is striker Rasmus Hojlund, who has not yet featured for the Reds since his summer move from Atalanta.
