Manchester United working on Pau Torres transfer

Manchester United are making progress over a potential move for Pau Torres in the summer transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are understood to be going 'all out' for a new centre-back signing this summer with the Villarreal centre-back still under consideration by the club.

MEN Sport understand there is growing belief a deal can be struck to sign Torres in the current window, although any move is likely to take place later in the summer following his involvement in the ongoing European Championship with Spain.

Torres, 24, was one of the players placed on United's five-man list of prospective defensive signings in the New Year, with fellow target Raphael Varane also included.

United viewed the Europa League final last month as Torres's last 'audition' before they decided on their prime centre-back target, with club officials believed to have been impressed by his role in Villarreal's penalty shootout victory.
