United is hunting for a Brazilian whiz-kid

Official talks between Manchester United and San Paolo on Brazilian superstar Lucas Moura have been confirmed as Daily Mirror reports. The Red Devils want to sign the player before the start of the Olympic Games in London as after the tournament the price will definitely increase.

MU manager Sir Alex Ferguson made it clear that Moura is his prime target this summer and the club is ready to spend up to £20m for a gifted striker.

The American owners of Manchester United will give the go-ahead for the deal understanding the value of the Brazilian will only increase in the future and also feeling the pressure of the fans disappointed after the last season.

Recently Moura admitted that he was not aspired to leave Brazil as soon as possible, yet understanding that Europe is a far better place for him to play.
