The Daily Mail has reported that Juventus have jumped ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Valencia starlet Ferran Torres. The player is a product of the Valencia youth set up and has grown to become a star in the first-team.
The player has been a regular starter and has established himself in the first-team. This season, the player has netted 6 goals and 7 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.
Torres is regarded as one of the brightest young guns currently playing in the La Liga and the Valencia ace could now be moving away from Mestalla Stadium.
The Spanish U21 international’s performances have shown his ability and the inclusion of the player in the United bench would add depth and competition. The player’s on-field displays mean he can go right into his new club and fight for a starting place. Torres is still young and can develop into a top-class prospect with the right opportunities.
The Spaniard is a right-winger and can also play on the left when required. He has shown his fearless approach to the game, and his pace and dribbling skills have caught the eyes. Ferran Torres can add to the attack, forming a great partnership with Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
Under Solskjaer, Manchester United seem to have regained their form but need to develop further. The Spanish U21 international is a viable option with experience and game time under his belt at such a young age.
Torres is just 20 and if the player continues his form, the player can turn out to be a valuable asset and a wise move by United. Hence, signing a hot young prospect like Torres could turn out to be an outstanding long-term move for Manchester United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to be building a team full of youngsters and Torres, given his quality and talent, fits the bill. With Juventus jumping ahead in the race to sign the young starlet, the time could be right for the Red Devils to step up their interest in Ferran Torres and bring him to Old Trafford soon.
