Transfer Gossip: Douglas Costa to Manchester United?
The Brazilian is currently in Italy, plying his trade for Juventus.
Manchester United finally handed the wheel to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by appointing him as the permanent manager for the next three years on Thursday morning. The Norwegian churned out wonderful results in his short reign as the interim manager and secured the most deserved promotion.
Ole started his proper managerial career at Old Trafford with a 2-1 win last night against Watford. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both scored for United before Watford's Doucoure pulled one back in the dying moments of the game.
It is believed that the new manager will surely get a free hand in the upcoming summer transfer window by the board, as Manchester United are keen to add more depth and strength to the side by signing big players. As per Italian media outlet Tuttosport, the Red Devils have identified Brazilian attacking midfielder, Douglas Costa as their first target of the summer.
The Brazilian is having an offseason so far having scored only one goal in 17 games he has played this season. The midfielder is currently recovering from a thigh injury he picked a couple of months ago.
