‘The Only Choice’ The Real Deal’ United Fans Back Move To Sign 23 Year Old Who Is Being Targeted As De Gea’s Successor

Manchester United have been scouting Porto’s Diogo Costa and Athletic Bilbao’s Unai Simon as they consider potential replacements for David De Gea, according to reports in England.

United’s current number one has a contract that expires at the end of the season and, while the Red Devils do have an option to extend his stay for another year, manager Erik ten Hag will have the final say on the player’s future.

De Gea isn’t a great fit for ten Hag’s style of play so there is a possibility that his current deal will be allowed to run down. With that in mind, both Costa and Simon have been looked at as possible successors. Out of the two, most fans on Twitter would favour a move for the Porto player:


Costa has had an excellent start to the season but he is only 23 years of age, which suggests that he is not the finished article. It will up to ten Hag to decide whether he wants his own man between the sticks or whether he values the experience that De Gea possesses more.
