Manchester United have reportedly lodged a bid to sign Juventus attacker Douglas Costa. United have dropped a bid north of 50 million pounds for the Brazilian attacker. United bounced back to good form after a gloomy past with former manager Jose Mourinho. Caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer found a way to flip the fortunes in their favour, recording his second victory as interim manager. But it was French midfielder Paul Pogba who owned the spotlight after scoring a brace for the Premier League side to cut the gulf of difference between them and fifth-place Arsenal to six points, who were later pegged back by Chris Hughes Brighton on Wednesday.
Mourinho’s regime was hit by waves of criticisms and scorn from some of his players knifed his side, causing plenty of fall outs with not just the squad but the management. Mourinho never approved the club’s hunt for Costa, crying for a centre-back instead. However, with him cropped out of the Old Trafford’s picture, United will resume the hunt for the 28-year-old. And according to reports, Solskjaer has been asked to give his opinion on the move. Nonetheless, Juventus is said to be dragging the transfer and don’t fancy him leaving in January. However, it is claimed they want United to stump up 70 million pounds for the Brazilian.
Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez is being linked with a potential move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window. Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez is a transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports. The Sun suggest the 29-year-old is wanted by the Ligue 1 champions at the end of the season, but only on one condition. It is suggested PSG will be willing to take Sanchez off United’s hands if they can agree a deal which would see him for either a low fee, or if possible on a free transfer. The Chilean international is understood to be the highest earner at Old Trafford and it is suggested club hierarchy have already discussed how they can offload him in the future. Sanchez has only managed three goals in 19 Premier League appearances for United, but despite his poor run of form it is suggested PSG are not put-off by his recent performances. It is believed Kylian Mbappe or Neymar could leave PSG at the end of the current season, and Sanchez is reportedly viewed as a superstar player capable of replacing either attacking star.
