This summer, Alex Telles and Eric Bailly of Manchester United were deemed unnecessary.
According to reports, Manchester United is prepared to trade Alex Telles and Eric Bailly for Pau Torres. Given his strengths at the back, Erik ten Hag would make an interesting acquisition in Villarreal's outstanding player. Although their primary defensive goal is Lisandro Martinez, it's possible that the Spain international may also show up.
After giving up 57 goals in the Premier League last season, Manchester United is looking to strengthen its defense in the next summer transfer window.
Despite the fact that Arsenal is also interested in Martinez, Ten Hag is most interested in reuniting with the player he managed for three years at Ajax.
However, the Mirror claims that United are also interested in signing Torres from Villarreal – a year after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rejected the center-back.
Additionally, it has been suggested that they may employ Telles and Bailly in a swap.
After getting into a fight with Hannibal Mejbri on the practice field in May, Telles is about to be let go.
Tyrell Malacia, a left back from Feyenoord, is expected to be acquired by United, therefore the Brazilian international could end up becoming the third-choice left back in the coming season.

The former Porto great won't take kindly to it, especially with the World Cup in Qatar getting closer.
When Solskjaer acquired the Samba star back in the summer 2020 transfer window, United anticipated that Telles would offer strong competition for Luke Shaw.
However, that hasn't happened, as during the course of his two years with the club, the 29-year-old has instead struggled with consistency.
When Bailly joined from Villarreal in the summer of 2016, when Jose Mourinho was the manager, United thought he would be a hit.
The Ivory Coast international had a successful debut, taking home the EFL Cup and Europa League in his first season in England.
But over the years, the defender has suffered from injuries frequently, which has prevented him from reaching his full potential.

Bailly wants to remain at United, and Fulham is interested in a transfer.
Six years after leaving Villarreal, it is unknown if he would be more inclined to returning.
In contrast, Torres spoke candidly about his future in May while downplaying rumors of a prospective switch to the Premier League.
Having a contract that is still in effect and a renewal offer gives me the assurance that I am where they want me to be.
"What occurs in the future will be known, but I am extremely calm, I do not look ahead, and it is time to disengage.
We have competed with the best at the European level, which is what every player aspires, over the past two years at Villarreal.

"And it's bigger if you do it with your town's team as well," she continued.
"I've always discussed it with the president, that many circumstances could emerge," Torres continued.
"I appreciate the club's devotion for me so much. I am confident that I can remain here for many more years because there is mutual affection.
We'll see how we respond.
Torres emphasized that he wouldn't rule anything out, however he also hinted that he'd be open to breaking the record for most appearances by Villarreal.

He declared, "I don't rule anything out and everything is possible."
The other day, Bruno, Mario, and Manu Trigueros performed a performance to honor their 400 club games.
To win the most games in the club one day, these are obstacles that may one day surface.
"There is nothing; these are really difficult decisions. No choice has been made.
"The extension with Villarreal is the only offer I currently have. I am aware of their great love for me here.
