The bookmaker odds on Pau Torres making the move to Manchester United this summer have been cut again after drifting towards the end of last month.
As recently as 26th May, Old Trafford appeared the likeliest destination for the Spaniard in 2022/23 should he choose to leave Champions League semi-finalists Villarreal.
On that day, he was 6/4 best price to move to Manchester and 5/1 to join the Antonio Conte Spurs revolution in London. However, across the subsequent two-week period, he gradually came into a price close to Evens to land at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the start of next season, pushing the chances of him signing for United to 4/1 at this time last week.

Yet, talk of the move to Manchester United might be gathering momentum once again, and it has become one of the most popular football bets through oddschecker today. In fact, Unibet have chopped odds on the 25-year-old becoming one of new manager Erik ten Hag’s first signings into Evens, although he remains 3/1 through Sky Bet.
The centre back, capped 19 times by La Roja, is 11/8 to join Spurs and a best price 17/20 to stay with his home team for a fourth successive season since playing out the 2018/19 campaign in the second tier on loan with Malaga. In total, he has played 134 times for Villarreal in all competitions, scoring 11 goals – nine of them coming in La Liga.
It is thought ten Hag will look to bolster his quota of central defenders given the recent struggles for club captain Harry Maguire, an indifferent first season for Raphael Varane and the likely departure of injury prone 28-year-old Eric Bailly.
