The Portuguese winger has been upfront about his hope to transfer to the Spanish champions, while United have emphatically stated they will not sell their star. Torres believes if that is what he wants, the move will take place.

Torres said: "He has everything. Players at this level also have no problem adapting to any situation.

"Whatever he decides, it will be best for he and his club. When someone wants to go, they go.

"Nobody wants to have someone who doesn't want to be at their club, but if in the end he stays, he'll continue with a great club.

"He'll be a rival wherever he is."
