Brazilian club Sao Paulo confirmed that they have received and rejected an offer from Manchester United for their young midfielder Lucas Moura worth about 35 million Euros, and said to English club if they want Moura,they would have to pay a ‘little more’ to bring him into their ranks.
Manchester United wants to bring 19-year old footballer, who participated in victory of the Brazilian Olympic team against Great Britain (Brazil 2-0 Great Britain Highlights), as Alex Ferguson believes that he would be an ideal replacement for Eden Hazard, who in front of them was “grabbed” by Chelsea.
There looking to much imo.
It's nice to see Utd are starting to show ambition but really, this kid is too unproven not to mention Brazilians are still iffy in the prem.
For that sort of money why not try for Modric? He's a much better fit for utd anyway or hell, even try for Schweinsteiger? That guy would be the perfect signing.
Lol! I hope manure go through with this. 40m for an unknown. I'd love to see that rosey faced ginger ferguson when he realizes mid season he just blew 40m.
You guys don't know football. There is nothing unproven about this kid. He makes grown men look like idiots, and liga brazil is about on par with second tier euro leagues. Don't let the euro media fool u into thinking European football is on another planet.
hmm interesting seems like it has potential to be another Veron though.
nice to see United looking at some up and coming talent since they know how to produce world stars from upcoming talent. Although i feel that kind of money could be better spent and would seem to make the team a bit too attacking heavy still no signs of fletcher coming back this half of season and even with fletcher united have been needed a top ball winning midfielder so only way i can see this deal being good if united are looking to offload a few midfielders this season like carrick and anderson.
