Manchester United are eyeing a move to sign FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa this summer, according to A Bola.
The Red Devils are said to be considering making a change in their goalkeeper department this summer after a string of high-profile errors from current number one Andre Onana, while number two Altay Bayindir is also said to be eyeing more regular first-team football elsewhere.
But while Onana's future remains up in the air, Man Utd are looking at their options on the market and Portugal star Costa has now emerged as a top target.

Costa, who has been described as 'one of the best shot-stoppers on the planet', has been a regular for FC Porto for several years and has established himself as Portugal's No.1 too.
But after being the first-choice stopper at the Estadio Dragao for the last four seasons, the 25-year-old is ready to try something new and is looking to pursue a move away this summer as he enters the final two years of his contract.
Man Utd and Man City are believed to be the two most interested clubs, but it's United who are seen as most likely after Pep Guardiola revealed that he expects both Ederson and Stefan Ortega-Moreno to stay at the Etihad Stadium this summer.

Costa has a €75m (£63.9m) release clause in his contract, but FC Porto would be willing to accept a deal worth around €60m (£51m) to let him leave this summer, as they understand that it's unlikely for clubs to pay such a large amount for a goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is also keen to earn a pay-rise in his next move.
According to the report, Ruben Amorim is keen to bring in an experienced option to replace Onana, who he has lost trust in, and Costa is someone who fits the profile of what he wants. However, he is not the only goalkeeper being looked at.
GMS sources revealed earlier this month that OGC Nice stopper Marcin Bulka is a target, while Real Madrid number two Andriy Lunin and Aston Villa star Emi Martinez are also being linked, with the World Cup winner already saying 'yes' to a move to Old Trafford.
