Manchester United are set to revive their interest in Villarreal defender Pau Torres - according to reports.
Torres, 25, was earmarked as a possible target for United during the last two summer windows. However, the club signed Raphael Varane in time for last season before Erik ten Hag vetoed the pursuit in order to snap-up Argentina international Lisandro Martinez from his former club Ajax this summer.
Ten Hag also brought in Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Antony and Martin Dubravka in his first window since arriving at Old Trafford. However, while that marked a successful recruitment drive, plans are now being put in place for January and beyond - with Torres seemingly re-emerging on their radar.

La Razón suggest United are set to come back in for the Spanish international. His contract with Villarreal expires in 2024 and they could look to cash-in on the player next summer.
Torres is understood to have a release clause around the €65million. However, with an end to his deal in sight there is every chance he could be available for much less than that figure.
Elsewhere, reports from Football Insider claim United are keeping tabs on Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as a potential replacement for David de Gea next summer. Speculation over De Gea and his spot in the United team moving forward has been heavily discussed recently.
Ten Hag welcomed Dubravka in on loan this summer to offset Academy graduate Dean Henderson joining Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest in a similar agreement - while a succession of other stoppers are starting to be linked as possible number ones for the club from next season.
Martinez has been picked out as a target for United as they continue to monitor his situation.
