17 G/A this season: Man United offered chance to sign 3x title winner

Barca are looking for solutions to their financial problems, and that could mean offloading some big names, including Torres, despite his fine form this season.

The 26-year-old has an impressive return of 16 goals and one assist for Hansi Flick’s side this term, despite not always being a regular starter.
According to TEAMtalk, Barcelona have explored offering Torres to both Man Utd and Atletico Madrid ahead of this summer.
The report adds that the Red Devils have been looking for a versatile attacking player of this profile, so Torres could make perfect sense for them.
Manchester United to bring Ferran Torres back to the Premier League?
Torres is a previous Premier League title winner during his time with United’s rivals Manchester City, while he’s also picked up two La Liga titles during his time at the Nou Camp.
There could certainly be a lot of benefit to adding an experienced winner like that to this United squad, depending on what kind of price they’d have to pay for him.
It remains to be seen precisely what kind of deal could be discussed here, but for now it seems TEAMtalk believe the Torres offer to relate to Barcelona’s negotiations for Marcus Rashford.
It may be that the Catalan giants hope to pay less to make Rashford’s move to the club permanent if they include the Spain international in the deal.

Will Barcelona end up signing Marcus Rashford?
As we reported yesterday, there is uncertainty about Rashford joining Barcelona permanently after his successful loan spell there this season.
Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are now understood to be exploring Rashford’s situation, but perhaps Barca will be able to afford the move if they offload Torres or include him in a deal with MUFC.
United already have decent attacking options to choose from, but they should surely consider an option like Torres if he does become available, especially as there seems little prospect of Rashford returning and becoming a key player again at Old Trafford.
