      But the club are also reportedly keen on tying David de Gea down to a new deal on a reduced wage rather than replacing the Spaniard completely.
      AS report that United are working on getting a deal done for Porto keeper Costa, who is enjoying a great season in between the sticks.
      They add that the Portuguese press are speculating United are working towards a deal that could even cost more than the £72m that Chelsea paid for Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2018.
      This would mean Costa could break the transfer record for a keeper.

      But the report adds that other clubs are interested in the 23-year-old stopper.
      Reports had indicated that United’s pursuit of new goalies meant that de Gea’s time at Old Trafford was coming to an end.
      The 32-year-old’s £375k-a-week deal expires at the end of the season but Old Trafford chiefs have reportedly indicated a willingness to trigger an extension.
      United want to reduce de Gea’s wages to closer to £100k, according to AS, but negotiations are taking some time.

      Gakpo supposedly wanted to join Man Utd in the summer, but a move did not materialise.
      Discussions between the club and the player’s agent have always been positive and it’s now the Red Devils’ decision whether they pursue a deal, claims journalist Fabrizio Romano.
      PSV want £52million for their talisman and talks with United chiefs are ongoing with the Dutch side admitting they may have to sell in January.
      Manager and ex-United hero Ruud van Nistelrooy recently said: “If I have the choice, I prefer the summer, but it can also be now, you know there comes a time when you can’t say no.”

      For his club, the 23-year-old has been in outstanding form netting 13 goals and registering 17 assists in just 24 matches.
      Man Utd are looking to bring in extra attackers during the approaching transfer window due to Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the club.
      Gakpo predominately plays on the left and would allow Marcus Rashford to move inside and take up the No.9 role.

      But if United don’t sign Gakpo in January then they risk missing out on him completely with Real Madrid reportedly monitoring him.
      Southampton and Leeds were close to signing Gakpo in the summer, but the player stayed at PSV in the hope a bigger side would come in for him. More

      Earlier this month, Atletico chief Gil Marin admitted that the forward was likely to leave in the coming months.

      “But that is not the player’s idea. He is the biggest bet the club has made.
      “I think he has the highest level in the world, but because of his relationship with the coach, the minutes played, his motivation… the reasonable thing to do is to consider his departure if an offer comes in.”
      Felix played well at the World Cup in Qatar, scoring against Ghana and laying on two assists against Switzerland.
      Speaking about his player’s form, Atletico manager Simeone said: “I want Atletico to win, that’s my sole focus.
      “Then what has to happen will happen. No one is indispensable and things will be as they have to be.
      “He had a good World Cup, he participated in goals. Hopefully we can have the Joao of the World Cup… I hope we can give him the peace of mind and joy to show what he demonstrated in the World Cup, which was very good.”
