Manchester United are said to be nearing the end of two transfer windows as Erik ten Hag looks set to start shaping his squad soon.
United ended their season in disappointment on Saturday after being beaten by rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
However, Ten Hag's first season was largely a success as he won the Carabao Cup and sent United back to the Champions League.
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, United worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure deals.
According to A Bola, United's efforts to sign Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa are well underway. If they manage to get the Portuguese, it could mark the end for David de Gea, who has been criticized several times during the 22/23 campaign.
In addition to Costa, United are said to be keeping an eye on Brentford goalkeeper David Raya but will face stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur.

After the loss to Man City, Ten Hag told BBC Sport:
“We are broken, disappointed of course, but I say I am proud of my team. We did very well, we conceded two easy goals but we got in. There is a great spirit and a very good organization.
"We are the only team capable of going against Man City."
The Dutch added:
"Those are tough goals, they're soft and can be avoided. When you're playing against Man City and you've barely conceded a goal in an open game, that's a big credit to the team, but if When you concede goals like this, it's disappointing. “This team has shown resilience, bravery and personality. We know we have a long way to go, but this will make us better. It was a test for us, we didn't pass but we can achieve a lot of positive things for next season.
