As good as Manchester United need a defender, they are also in the market scouring for a top-class right winger. And, Douglas Costa is said to be one of the names said to be on the top of their wishlist.

The Brazilian was also a major target for United under Jose Mourinho and the club have decided to pursue the player even in the aftermath of the Special One's sacking. However, it seems that Costa gracing the Premier League is a reality that will have to wait to materialize until the end of the season.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus have rejected a £54m Manchester United offer for Douglas Costa. The Old Lady are closed to the idea of parting ways with the player in January and, moreover, the former Bayern man has also let his agent known that he wishes to stay at the club.
