The Red Devils will be back in for a central defender this summer after a calamitous campaign highlighted numerous issues at the back.

But United could need an extra man with Axel Tuanzebe, Phil Jones, and Eric Bailly expected to depart on permanent transfers this summer. Incoming manager Erik ten Hag could bring Jurrien Timber, who can also play as a right-back, with him to Old Trafford. But Torres could be a first-choice target, given the club’s long-standing interest.
