Premier League club Manchester United are on the trail of another defender and they have set sights on Villarreal center-back Pau Torres.

Manchester Evening News are reporting that the Red Devils have made the 24-year-old an option and are already working on bringing him to Old Trafford.

It was gathered that United believe a possible deal for the player could be completed during the summer as soon as the Euro 2020 championship is over.

United had listed Torres among five prospects in the new year including Raphael Varane who is also included.

And following his performance for Villarreal in the Europa League final last month, Man Utd officials are now desperate to land him.

While the club are edging nearer to a deal to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund they are still prioritising a deal for a new centre-back and Torres' natural ability as a left-footer make him an ideal candidate to be the long-term partner for club captain Harry Maguire.

Torres has a release clause in his current deal which lies in the region of €60million after he penned a contract extension until 2024 two years ago.

Tuanzebe set to leave Old Trafford

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported Man United defender Axel Tuanzebe is reportedly looking to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Tuanzebe struggled for game time under Solskjaer last season as he was limited to just four EPL starts.

The Man United academy graduate is currently behind Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof in the pecking order.
