Manchester United to consider Pau Torres move?

Manchester United could reportedly move for Villarreal defender Pau Torres this summer.

The Red Devils are allegedly in the market for a new central defender due to the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo.

RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but it is understood that the Frenchman will not be joining the Red Devils before the October deadline.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side could consider a move for Villarreal's Torres in the coming weeks.

The 23-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign for the Yellow Submarine, contributing two goals and two assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

The Spain international, who has also previously been linked with Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona, is believed to have a €50m (£45.6m) release clause in his current deal at Estadio de la Ceramica.

United are due to start their 2020-21 Premier League season at home to Crystal Palace on September 19.
