Is Lucas Moura finally on his way to Manchester United?
August 5, 2012 at 00:00 13 comments
Reports in the Mail on Sunday and The Telegraph claim that Lucas Moura is set to join Manchester United for around £30 million (almost €38 million). United have had several bids turned down by São Paulo, but if the claims are correct, the midfielder who turns 20 later this month, could finally be on his way to Old Trafford. São Paulo were originally holding out for something closer to the player’s buyout clause of £63 million (€80 million), but club president Juvenal Juvêncio came under pressure from directors and supporters to accept United’s bid.
Moura is currently on duty with Brazil’s Olympic squad but has started only one game so far in the competition and has yet to impress.

“Moura is currently on duty with Brazil’s Olympic squad but has started only one game so far in the competition and has yet to impress”.
This is spot-on. From the little I’ve seen him, he does not fill me with the same excitement as Ronaldo did before he signed the United. I believed from the first moment that Ronaldo was a star, this looks like a much bigger gamble.
£30M is a whole lot of money. Comments from São Paulo supporters do not reassure me either, with many I’ve seen bewildered at the high price they may receive.
