Manchester United fans left drooling over Villareal star Pau Torres after Champions League performance
Europa League final repeat
Manchester United are currently locked in action with Villareal, in a repeat of the Europa League final. The Red Devils lost the fixture last season, handing Unai Emery another Europa League trophy in the process, and will be looking for revenge.
However, they began awfully, and should really have been behind heading into the break. Only a vintage David De Gea performance prevented the yellow submarine from taking the lead in the opening 45 minutes.

Despite De Gea’s best efforts, the visitors took the lead early into the second half at Old Trafford, with Paco Alcacer turning in from an Arnaut Danjuma cross.
Manchester United were, somewhat against the run of play, fired back into contention by a brilliant strike from full-back Alex Telles, and the game remains on a knife-edge.
What a time to score your first Man Utd goal!

Manchester United fans single out Pau Torres for praise
Watching the game, however, Manchester United fans were most struck by one particular member of the opposition, namely one-time transfer target Pau Torres.
The ability for the Spaniard to progress the ball, as well as his quality of pass, was what particularly stood out to the Old Trafford faithful:
Pau Torres looks like Lindelof but is a million miles better. Wonder if we could swap them tonight without anyone noticing

United should’ve signed Pau Torres instead of Varane, younger and better currently.

Pau Torres putting our entire team on toast 😂 many of y’all didn’t rate this fella.

That ball carry from Pau Torres is better than anything I’ve ever seen from Maguire at United.

Did United miss a trick by not signing the Spaniard in the summer?
