Man Utd 'pressing for Douglas Costa and have made enquiries for Demiral'

Manchester United are reportedly pressing for Juventus winger Douglas Costa and have made enquiries for Merih Demiral.

A deal between Juve and United seemed to have hinged on who the Red Devils would accept in return for Paul Pogba.

However, Tuttosport is now claiming they are pushing hard for Costa’s signature.

Although Paris Saint-Germain are also showing interest, the newspaper explains the English giants would have the upper hand if Max Allegri became coach of the Ligue 1 champions.



United are also said to have asked about Demiral’s availability, with his first-team prospects threatened by a fit-again Giorgio Chiellini.

The Turk is currently recovering from damaged knee ligaments but is closing in on a comeback.
