#3 Douglas Costa

The only missing link in Manchester United's attack?

Costa has had a mixed time at Juventus since swapping Bavaria for Turin. Last season, the Brazilain contributed to sixteen goals in just eighteen stars in Serie A but has had a disastrous second season for the Old Lady. From getting sent off and suspended for spitting at a player, to providing no goals or assists this season, the 2018-19 season has been one to forget for the former Shakhtar man.

The arrival of Ronaldo in the summer saw Dybala play on the right wing and has restricted Douglas to just 4 starts in the league. A frustrated Douglas would definitely be tempted to leave Italy for the pomp and show the Premier League. Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and this might be his chance to come and light up Old Trafford and prove all his critics wrong once and for all.

Douglas is a typical right winger, extremely skilful, loves beating his man and has a wicked right foot that enables him to shoot from distance. Mata is the only left-footed forward in Manchester United's ranks and is clearly not suited for playing on the wing. Either Martial or Rashford has had to fill in on the right which curtails their game to a huge extent.

Douglas would bring with him a huge bag of skills and experience of playing at some of the biggest clubs in the world. He would know what it means to pull on the red of Manchester United. Douglas would be a great partner for Martial on the opposite wings and could pull off the intricate play with precision passing that both are capable of

A very realistic signing as it looks like Juventus are looking for a replacement for him as well. A talented, able young winger that would definitely get every United fan itching to watch him tear defences apart and combine with the likes of Pogba and Rashford.
