Taciano Pimenta, a representative of Atlético Paranaense forward Douglas Coutinho, claims that Manchester United have enquired about his client.
The 20 year-old, who has scored seven goals in 26 appearances this season, is considered to be one of Atlético’s brightest talents and Pimenta suggests his progress is not going unnoticed.
“I had a query about interest and Manchester United,” he said, as reported by The Express.
“Obviously if they want to buy, the interest to sell is there. I go to see if it’s official.”
Despite his reasonable goal return this term, Coutinho is currently on a run of 13 games without a goal. The Volta Redonda native last found the net in Atlético’s 2-0 win over Botafogo back in August.
