But now, Ineos can correct the wrong of the previous regime.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Ben Jacobs has told The United Stand that the Porto number one remains an option discussed within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/stadium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Diogo Costa] is another name that Manchester United have discussed, and is appreciated within the club too.

I don\u2019t see United gambling on Petrovic despite his potential in the number one area; the interest was only for him to be a young number two.
