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.
Arsenal 'offer Matteo Guendouzi, Alexandre Lacazette in Thomas Partey deal'

Arsenal allegedly proposed the idea of swapping Matteo Guendouzi and Alexandre Lacazette for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey earlier this summer.
While the Gunners have been strongly linked with the Ghana international for a number of months, there appears to be a reluctance to meet the player's £45m release clause.
Speculation persists over the long-term futures of Guendouzi and Lacazette, who may be allowed to depart the Emirates Stadium in the coming weeks.
However, speaking to Lee Gunner on his YouTube channel, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano says that Atletico were only interested in a straight-cash deal.
Romano said: "For sure they spoke with Atletico Madrid. It was during the meeting they had for Thomas, the first time it was in July. They spoke about Matteo Guendouzi and they spoke also about Lacazette.
"But at the moment, Atletico Madrid was not going for Lacazette."
Guendouzi has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal due to disciplinary issues, while Lacazette is now only regarded as backup to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
