Villarreal's Pau, however, reportedly prefers a move to Man United with the club ready to start a new era under coach Erik ten Hag. Torres’ entourage could travel to England in the coming days to discuss a possible move with the two interested sides.

At Man United, Pau will have to face competition from the likes of Varane, Maguire, Lindelof and Bailly. But Bailly could be on his way out of Man United in the summer.
