Manchester United veteran Juan Mata admits he's a fan of Villarreal defender Pau Torres.

Torres has been linked with United ahead of this week's Europa League final.

“If we talk now about the present, with Unai on the bench, it's a very well-organised team with quality, with players that I know very well,“ Mata told United's in-house media. "It's difficult to play against his teams.

“I played with some of their players. Raul Albiol, centre-back, we played together in Valencia and the national team, [Dani] Parejo, great midfielder, Paco Alcacer, striker and very good finisher.

“They've got a great striker in Gerardo Moreno, they've got quality in the midfield, a very good centre-back in Pau Torres. Sergio Asenjo, one of the goalkeepers, was also my team-mate in the Spanish Under-21s. I know them very well, they've beaten good teams in this season's Europa League, like Arsenal."
