Newly-appointed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag reportedly wants to sign Villarreal defender Pau Torres 'at all costs'.
With United only finishing in sixth position in the Premier League this season, it was been widely reported that an array of changes will be made to the first-team squad.
Although numerous areas of the pitch will be strengthened, central defence is expected to be a priority, particularly with Eric Bailly and Phil Jones in line to depart Old Trafford.
According to Marca, Ten Hag is desperate to get a deal for Torres over the line, aware that Villarreal are prepared to cash in on their most prized asset.
Due to his ability on the ball, the report claims that Ten Hag views the Spain international as his ideal defender and intends to push hard for his signature.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding two years with Villarreal, helping his club win last season's Europa League before playing a starring role in their run to the Champions League semi-finals during 2021-22.
