Manchester United could have received a boost in their pursuit of goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who dreams of playing in the Premier League.

According to Caught Offside, Manchester United target Diogo Costa dreams of playing in the Premier League, which is a boost for the club’s chances of signing him. The Red Devils are intent on landing a new No.1 choice between the sticks to replace Andre Onana, as the club could explore a move for the Portuguese international.

Manchester United are currently active in the transfer market and trying to get deals done for key targets. While talk of a new striker has dominated headlines so far, Ruben Amorim knows the goalkeeping situation is as important as a centre-forward.

There have been plenty of coverage over their need for a new No.1 following Andre Onana’s underwhelming two seasons at the club. Despite some reports stating Amorim might be open to keeping the stopper, the overall consensus points towards the club looking to sell the Cameroonian this summer if a viable offer arrives, with Manchester United ready to sell him for around £20 million.

A host of options have been discussed as Onana’s potential replacements, including Belgian star Senne Lammens. There have been links to Gianluigi Donnarumma, with the Italian’s future at PSG under jeopardy, while Amorim would be open to adding Emiliano Martinez to his options.

Diogo Costa, the 25-year-old Portuguese international, is the latest on Manchester United’s list, with a growing possibility of the club exploring a potential move. The FC Porto star has been dreaming of playing in the Premier League, and could potentially view the Red Devils as a viable destination to further his career.

Manchester United in Diogo Costa links

Costa was earlier linked with Manchester City, but the club have chosen to sign James Trafford instead and keep Ederson Moraes beyond the window. Manchester United are probably one of the big attractions from Costa’s perspective, as there’s the potential for talks to commence between the two clubs.

Manchester United will be mindful of FC Porto’s demands for the keeper, as they might point towards a release clause in his contract. Signing Costa might be a good decision for Amorim, as the 25-year-old Portuguese international does have the pedigree of being one of the top stoppers around, and might end up suiting the Red Devils.
