Manchester United have reportedly turned their attention to Valencia star Ferran Torres as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.

Reports suggest United could be priced out of a deal for Sancho, with Borussia Dortmund wanting £115million for the England international.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are seemingly keen to sign someone in the mould of Sancho, with Thiago Almada among those being touted.

And now CalcioNapoli24claim Ferran Torres’ entourage are “already in contact” with United over a move to Old Trafford, reports Sport Witness.

Torres’ team have been looking for a new home for the 20-year-old ever since his relationship broke down with former Valencia boss Marcelino.

 

 

And although the forward was given opportunities following Marcelino’s departure, it is reported that the new €3m per season deal offered to Torres falls short of his expectations.

Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are also thought to be interested in signing Torres, with the report claiming he will be sold to the “highest bidder” this summer.
