Calen Carr: 'Fernando Torres may not be right for Major League Soccer'

Carr: 'Torres may not be right for MLS'

Former Houston Dynamo striker Calen Carr says that Major League Soccer is not necessarily the right fit for Fernando Torres.

Former Houston Dynamo striker Calen Carr has expressed doubt about whether Fernando Torres should join a club in Major League Soccer in the summer.

The Spanish veteran will part ways with Atletico Madrid at the end of the season and has been tipped to continue his career in either the US or China.

Carr, however, does not believe that the MLS is necessarily the right fit for the 34-year-old, claiming that the standard has risen in the US top flight, making it difficult for some older players to hit the ground running.

"It's got to be the right team, MLS is at a point now where some of these older stars who've done well at Europe aren't the necessarily right fit or an automatic 'Yes, we'll take you'," he told Sky Sports News.

"If it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic and it's the right fit for a big club with a global profile like LA Galaxy, it makes sense."

Torres, who names Liverpool and Chelsea among his former clubs, has made 34 appearances for Atletico this season, most of which were off the bench.
