Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa plays down Manchester United transfer rumours

<p>Diogo Costa, the goalkeeper for Porto, has dampened the rumors linking him to a summer transfer to Manchester United.</p>

<p>There is speculation that Erik ten Hag's team is currently leading the race to secure the 23-year-old's signature; however, Costa has reassured his current employers by downplaying the rumours surrounding his future.</p>

<p>"That's the internet. It is a happiness and an honour to play for my favourite club," said Costa.</p>

<p>"What they say is what they say, there is nothing concrete. I have a contract until 2027 and I hope to continue, let's see."</p>

<p>Following David de Gea's struggles this season, which were further highlighted by a disappointing performance in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Manchester United are in search of a new gloveman.</p>

<p>Considering his impressive season at Porto, Costa could be seen as a potential long-term successor to De Gea by the transfer experts at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, the goalkeeper remains unfazed by the conjecture.</p>

<p>Reports suggest that Manchester United are prepared to meet the £65 million release clause in order to entice Costa to England, as they explore various options in anticipation of the upcoming transfer window.</p>

<p>Costa has had an outstanding campaign with the Portuguese giants, boasting 16 clean sheets in the Liga Portugal and appearing in 41 matches across all competitions.</p>
