As the Premier League nightmare worsens, the £5 million defender might wish he had signed with Rangers.

Auston Trusty is a defender for Sheffield United, and Rangers lost out on signing him. His season is getting worse.

Throughout the summer, Rangers were connected to several center backs, but few anticipated Leon Balogun to be the player joining them.

Reunited with Michael Beale at Ibrox, the Nigerian provided an experienced alternative at the back.

However, the move felt a little disappointing, especially in light of the rumors of a possible Auston Trusty deal.

Trusty seems eager to cash in after showing promise while on loan at Birmingham City.

Although it was rumored that Rangers was interested in a £2 million move, he ultimately completed a £5 million move to Sheffield United.

Auston Trusty’s season goes from bad to worse

We would understand Trusty’s wish to have joined the Rangers after less than a year.

Sheffield United, led by Trusty, continues to lose badly and is currently seven points outside of safety.

It was bad enough that the Blades fell to Newcastle United 8-0, but they have now dropped their past two home games, 5-0.

An early Mason Holgate red card served as part of the inspiration for Brighton & Hove Albion’s thrashing on Sunday.

Even though Trusty entered the game late in the first half, he was unable to stop the Seagulls from scoring goals at Bramall Lane.

To make matters worse, Trusty even had to suffer the humiliation of deflecting a goal by Simon Adingra into his own goal to increase the lead to 5-0.

Right now, Sheffield United appears to be doomed, and Trusty might return to Championship action the following season.

Rangers, on the other hand, are competing in the Europa League and vying for a title—a far cry from a relegation struggle.

It’s possible that Rangers lost interest in Trusty along with Beale, leaving the defender to speculate about what may have been.
