The agent of Douglas Costa has claimed that Premier League giants Manchester United have begun talks with Gremio to purchase the youngster, according to a report emanating from Setanta.
The Red Devils are said to have been tracking the 18-year-old for the past couple of years and may now be ready to pounce following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
The 11-time capped Brazil Under-20 international has been dubbed 'the new Ronaldinho' and Barcelona, as well as Los Blancos, have also been linked with him.
However, quotes attributed to the midfielder's representative Cesar Bottega suggest United are leading the pursuit of the £20 million-rated starlet.
With Douglas thought to have recently signed a four-year contract which will keep him at the Olimpico Monumental until 2013, it appears the English champions may swoop for his services soon before his value rises further.
"There have been informal conversations and I believe Manchester United would match those values," Bottega told the Brazilian press.
"At the end of the Brasileirao, Douglas will be worth at least twice that."
