The Red Devils are in the market for defensive reinforcements with both Eric Baily and Victor Lindelof coming up short on terms of consistency, while being bogged by injury especially the former.
With Phil Jones set to depart Old Trafford this summer and youngster Axel Tuanzebe seeking a loan away from the club, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to add a new center back to his ranks to partner captain Harry Maguire.
Having been linked with several center backs over the past months, including Real Madrid Rafael Varane, Manchester United have turned their attention to the 24-year-old Spanish international.
According to MEN Sport, there is a believe with Old Trafford that a deal can be struck for the talented defender.
Torres, a lefy footed center back is viewed by the club's hierarchy as the ideal partner for Maguire. The Spanish international has a €60m release clause in his contract with Villarreal, but it is believed that the Europa League champions will be willing to do a player plus cash deal as a result of the economic effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
