Manchester United in January transfer swoop for Brazil international

Lucas Moura has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United

LUCAS MOURA has emerged as a target for Manchester United in the January transfer window, according to reports.

 

The Brazil international is understood to have been a target for the Red Devils in 2013, and again over the summer.

But he previously admitted he 'loves' living in the French capital and enjoyed the Champions League challenge with PSG.

 

"I love being in Paris, I want to make history. I feel that I can win the Champions League with PSG," he said.

"But it is not only the club, but also life in Paris which is fantastic. That’s why I want to stay here long."

 

However, reports in French newspaper L'Equipe suggest United will once again attempt to sign the 23-year-old in January.

It is understood that Louis van Gaal has pinpointed the Brazilian as one of his 'pacey and creative' wide men.

 

But the report adds that the Red Devils may face competition from other Premier League clubs for his signature.

Lucas has scored three goals and has one assist to his name in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
