Juventus star Douglas Costa branded links with Manchester United as “baseless” after an agent claimed the Premier League club tried to sign him.
An English newspaper published an interview with agent Giovanni Branchini on Monday, in which he claimed United had held “strong” interest in Costa but Maurizio Sarri did not want to sell him.
But in response to the reports , Costa has issued a strong rebuttal and insisted Branchini, who worked as an intermediary in Costa’s move to Juve, is not a representative of his anymore.
Writing on his official Instagram, Costa said: “I’m writing to deny the baseless news published today, which said I was in negotiations with some clubs during the last transfer window.
