Manchester United Watch Douglas Costa

Manchester United are serious about their pursuit of Gremio attacking midfielder Douglas Costa.

The News of the Word says Manchester United are deadly serious about capturing 18-year-old attacking midfielder Costa, who is also on the hitlist of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

And after signing a new contract with his club Gremio, Costa’s fee would be around £20million.

United are assembling a strong Brazilian contingent and Costa would be joining compatriots Anderson, Rodrigo Possebon and the Da Silva twins, Rafael and Fabio. Apparently, this week, Jaap Stam was seen in and around the Gremio stadium and has been watching Costa closely. Of course, Stam is now working as a scout for United in South America, or so the rumours would have us believe. It seems rather odd United have shown interest in Costa and Stam turns up to watch him at the same time.

I have no idea who Costa is, but if I get any details I shall of course pass them on because I am nice like that.....Back To Home Page

Jaap Stam Signs For Manchester United !!

Jaap Stam has reportedly made a
sensational return to Manchester
United Football Club.

The former Dutch international defender
had a well-publicised bust-up with Sir
Alex Ferguson, after he criticised the
Scot in his autobiography ‘Head-to-Head’.

Ferguson has since revealed he regrets
letting the former PSV Eindhoven star
leave the club, but the Daily Mail claims
the retired Stam is now back at United
as a scout.

The 36-year-old was spotted in Brazil
watching some youngsters United have
expressed an interest in, and the Daily
Mail claims he was there on behalf of
the European champions.

Would you believe it ? It's just a pity the
argument was not settled when Stam was
at United because he was certainly one of
the best defenders we ever had...Back To Home Page
