Man Utd target Pau Torres asks friends about summer transfer.. but one of pals is ex-Liverpool star


MANCHESTER UNITED target Pau Torres has been asking his team-mates what it’s like to play for a big club – and one of them is Alberto Moreno.

The ex-Liverpool flop, who joined Torres at Villarreal in 2019, is one of three players to give the 24-year-old some much-needed advice.

Speaking to Spanish newspaper Sport, Torres said: “Players who have gone through important clubs, when they talk about an experience they have had, I like to listen to them, both Paco Alcacer and Raul Albiol or Alberto Moreno.

“They tell you things that you have not yet experienced and that you think you would like to experience.”

The Red Devils are said to be keen on signing the centre back, with reports suggesting a £52million bid may be imminent.

Real Madrid, however, are also believed to interested in the Spain international and may challenge the Premier League side for his signature.

Torres has enjoyed a significant rise in the last three years.

As Moreno was winning the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019, Torres was playing on loan at fallen giants Malaga in Spain’s second tier.

He was recalled back to Villarreal following an impressive campaign and has since become a rock at the back, inspiring them to this season’s Europa League semi-finals.

The impressive youngster has also broken into the Spain team, picking up seven caps to date after scoring on his debut against Malta in November 2019.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer is said to want to sign a new centre back this summer to play alongside skipper Harry Maguire.

Brighton defender Ben White has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, although Leeds, Liverpool and Chelsea are also believed to be keen on the 23-year-old.
