Manchester United to consider Pau Torres move?

Manchester United could reportedly move for Villarreal defender Pau Torres this summer.

The Red Devils are allegedly in the market for a new central defender due to the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo.

RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but it is understood that the Frenchman will not be joining the Red Devils before the October deadline.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side could consider a move for Villarreal's Torres in the coming weeks.

The 23-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign for the Yellow Submarine, contributing two goals and two assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

The Spain international, who has also previously been linked with Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona, is believed to have a €50m (£45.6m) release clause in his current deal at Estadio de la Ceramica.

United are due to start their 2020-21 Premier League season at home to Crystal Palace on September 19.

How Manchester United could line up with Sergio Reguilon

Real Madrid have reportedly indicated to Manchester United that they are prepared to offload left-back Sergio Reguilon this summer.

The 23-year-old made 38 appearances during a spell on loan with Europa League winners Sevilla last season, earning a place in the La Liga team of the year.

Reguilon is back at Madrid ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, but boss Zinedine Zidane is supposedly ready to send him to Man Utd, possibly on an initial loan.

As speculation over Reguilon's future continues to mount, Sports Mole looks at how United could line up with the Spaniard in their ranks next season.

United have already made one signing this summer, bringing in talented box-to-box midfielder Donny van de Beek from Ajax.

Van de Beek could play alongside Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba in a midfield three, or may possibly rotate with the latter to make room for a more defensive-minded player.

Up front, meanwhile, the front three of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign and are nailed on to be regulars this term, fitness depending.

Reguilon's possible arrival will only strengthen United's starting lineup, with the versatile wideman - used more regularly as a wing-back by Sevilla - providing a better option than Luke Shaw on the left.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka enjoyed a positive enough first campaign at Old Trafford on the right side of defence, while Victor Lindelof appears to be the best option to partner Harry Maguire.

That just leaves the number one spot, which is currently occupied by David de Gea but may well belong to Dean Henderson before too long.
