Villarreal defender Pau Torres is keen to hear from Manchester United.

The Manchester Evening News says Torres would be interested in a move to United this summer.

United are one of the top sides currently looking into a possible move for Torres, 24, ahead of an uncertain transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prioritising a move for a new centre-back this summer and Torres' natural ability as a left-footer make him an ideal candidate to be the long-term partner for club captain Harry Maguire.

It is believed 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.

However, it is understood Villarreal could consider a player-plus-cash offer for Torres if any suitors are unable to match such a figure in the current financial climate.

A number of other Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, are also monitoring the Spanish defender's situation and Torres would be open to a move to English football.
