Manchester United are expected to post scouts to watch Douglas Costa in action against Arsenal later this month.
The Daily Mail says Shakhtar Donetsk's brilliant Brazilian Douglas Costa should recover from a thigh injury to join Eduardo da Silva's return to Arsenal in the Champions League.
Midfielder Costa has been on Manchester United's radar since coming through the ranks at Gremio and he has excelled for the Ukrainian champions this season.
The 20-year-old was taken off on stretcher with a suspected thigh tear during Shakhtar's 2-0 win against Dynamo Kiev on Sunday, but scans show it was just a strain.
Boss Mircea Lucescu expects to have Costa back in time for the Champions League match at the Emirates Stadium on October 19, when United could take the opportunity of having another look at the Brazil Under 20 international.
