Manchester United 'keeping tabs on Valencia trio'

Manchester United are reportedly monitoring the situation of Valencia trio Jose Gaya, Carlos Soler and Ferran Torres ahead of the January transfer window.

United's main focus is Gaya, a left-back who has played a fundamental role for Valencia across five seasons after coming through the club's academy.

Having addressed the right-back role through signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the Red Devils are now on the search for a defender on the other side due to Luke Shaw's injury record and Ashley Young turning 34 in July.

According to The Mirror, United will keep a close eye on the Valencia trio as the January window approaches.

Soler, a nimble midfielder who can play further forward, has been on United's radar before and would serve to address an understaffed midfield at Old Trafford.

Torres, on the other hand, is a right-sided midfielder - a position United are keen on investing in - who could be seen as a cheaper alternative to Jadon Sancho.
