Boss Alex Ferguson is desperate to snap up the “new Ronaldinho” and see off competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Costa is the star of Brazil’s Under-19 team and plays for Gremio.
Fergie wants the deal sorted next week and is willing to let him stay in Brazil until next summer.
Sounds like a good deal, if it manage to go through. I was wondering, why can't we take Tevez for another '2-year loan deal'?
