Villarreal defender Torres responds to Man Utd speculation

Villarreal defender Pau Torres has played down suggestions he could leave the club this summer.

Manchester United have been strongly linked with signing the Spain centre-back.

But Torres is solely focused on Villarreal's 2021/22 season, with a recent win over United in the Europa League final securing them Champions League football.

"Right now I have a contract with Villarreal. We've won a European trophy. We've shown we can compete against any opponent," Torres said.

"Next year we have the Champions League ahead of us, and that's what I'm focused on. Those rumours mean that you're doing a good job. I'm calm.

"Those rumours came out a while ago and I don't think my performance has changed, it's been good."
