Man Utd prepare £22 million for Torres

Manchester United are on the verge of a £22 million January deal for Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres.
The Sun says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is close to a deal with Atletico Madrid for the Spanish international.

Torres, 22, is likely to switch to Old Trafford in the January transfer window, four years after Fergie first set his sights on the hitman and after three failed bids.
Torres has suffered in Atletico's failing season and is torn about leaving them in a crisis.
But Atletico are willing to part with their star player so they can buy new blood in the window.
Torres signed a new contract last summer as United and Arsenal courted his signature - but part of the deal saw his buy-out clause reduced.
Torres is the perfect replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy as his physical presence and skill make him ideal to lead the line.
And with Fergie getting the green light from the Glazer family to launch a bid for £16m-rated Bayern Munich and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves - it could see United's January splurge top £38m.
The arrival of Torres means Fergie is ready to let Alan Smith go out on loan.
