However, thus far his search has remained fruitless.
But in the meantime, De Gea has continued to make appearances in Manchester.
And his latest appearance showed him linking up with compatriot Reguilon, who joined the Red Devils as an emergency loan signing late in the summer window.
De Gea, 33 shared a selfie of the pair on his Instagram story and captioned the post: “Winning Team”.
The pair appeared to have been enjoying a game of padel.
It is the second most popular sport in Spain behind football, with an estimated 3.5 million players.
Spain also has the most padel courts in the world with a staggering 14,000. By comparison, the UK has around 250 courts.
Since joining the Red Devils, Reguilon has played seven times owing to long-term injuries to both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

However, an injury of his own has left Erik ten Hag without a natural left-back for a significant portion of the campaign.
Reguilon has now returned to the squad and played 79 minutes of the 1-0 win over Luton.
De Gea had a 12-year stint at Man Utd in which he won the Premier League, FA Cup, Europa League and League Cup twice.
He won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award four times, including three in a row between 2014 and 2016.
During his time at Old Trafford, he broke the record for the most appearances by a goalkeeper for Man Utd with 545 in all, overtaking Alex Stepney.
Despite no longer being at the club, De Gea has continued to back his former team-mates, weighing in on the Bruno Fernandes captaincy debate after calls for the midfielder to be stripped of the armband.
De Gea has also delved into new opportunities away from football such as eSports, with ex-Red Devils ace Dimitar Berbatov exclusively telling SunSport he would consider joining him with the career move.
He was said to be in talks with Spanish side Real Betis, though boss Manuel Pelligrini has played down these rumours.
