“We had a problem with Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia injured so we have covered that very well in an emergency situation.”
United will be without Luke Shaw for an extended period of the season after he picked up a nasty muscular injury.
Reguilon's arrival will give the Red Devils a boost as they add some much needed defensive reinforcements.
Speaking to the official Manchester United website, the 26-year-old said: "In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an illustrious history is one that I could not turn down.
