It is suggested that the club will also have a “break clause” in the deal that can be triggered in January.
While at the club, it would be assumed that the Spaniard will stand in for Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, who are both injured.
With his present ailment, Shaw may potentially miss up to ten weeks of action.
Malacia, who had an injury that has kept him out since before preseason, is still on the sidelines for now meanwhile.
Reguilon, 26, joined Tottenham in 2020, but after dropping down the hierarchy, he spent the last campaign on loan at Atletico Madrid.
He only appeared for the team 11 times in LaLiga, indicating that the move was unsuccessful.
Rico Henry, a standout for Brentford, has previously been mentioned in connection with a move by United to address their left-back shortage.
