Man Utd ‘watching’ Diogo Costa as Erik ten Hag seeks David de Gea replacement

The Red Devils boss has been searching for a goalkeeper to suit his new style of play after initial doubts over whether his current no.1 could fit into his system

Manchester United are said to be monitoring Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa as Erik ten Hag weighs up the need for a long-term replacement for David de Gea.

The Spanish shot-stopper has been United’s No.1 for more than 10 years since his arrival in 2011 but there have been previous concerns over whether he is suited to Ten Hag’s style of playing out from the back, with doubts over the use of his feet.

And with De Gea’s contract expiring next summer, although United hold the option of a one-year extension, the Dutchman is beginning to explore his options and Costa is now being mooted as his next potential target.

According to The Athletic, United are in the process of scouring the market for alternatives and chief goalkeeping scout Tony Coton ‘is set to be busy travelling Europe for the next few months’.
