Manchester United eyeing loan deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Lucas Moura

Manchester United are reportedly chasing the loan signature of Brazil international forward Lucas Moura, according to The Sun.

The Premier League side, who defeated Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park on New Year’s Day, have been linked with a move for the out of favour Paris Saint-Germain winger during this month’s transfer window.

The 25-year-old, who has 36 international caps for his country, has scored one goal and provided one assist in just six appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 giants so far this season.

Moura, who joined PSG back in August 2012 following his reported £38m switch from Sao Paulo, has scored 46 goals in 229 games overall for Unai Emery’s side, winning four league titles, among other honours, in the French capital.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Lucas Moura in action with Caen’s Jean-Victor Makengo last season.

However, having failed to start a single league game so far this 2017-18 campaign, Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is keen to bring the Samba star to Old Trafford this January on loan, though PSG may only agree if it leads to a permanent deal worth around £40m this summer.
