Manchester United leading the race for Chelsea target

Manchester United are supposedly leading the race to sign Villarreal defender Pau Torres during this present summer’s transfer window.

The Spain international has scored 3 times in 35 appearances for the Yellow Submarine this season, and various clubs are supposed to be keen on his signature.

Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to be connected with the 24-year-old, who is accepted to have a £56m release clause in his present deal with Unai Emery’s side.

However, as indicated by La Razon, Man United are the side ‘best positioned’ to get the centre back’s signature in the impending market.

The report guarantees that Pau Torres would ‘welcome’ a move to Manchester United, who are believed to be searching for a long term partner for club skipper Harry Maguire.

The Spaniard said a week ago that he was “very calm” in the midst of the speculation encompassing his future.
