Mourinho has been wanting United to sign a winger since last summer, but the Red Devils were ultimately unable to fulfill the manager's wish after missing out on Perisic. Now after half a season, Mou is finally close to realizing this wish.
According to Brazilian media outlet UOL Esporte, Manchester United are close to signing Lucas Moura as the countdown to the Brazilian player's departure from Paris Saint-Germain begins. Lucas himself is not averse to joining United and he looks to have given the nod to go to United. United are now in the process of agreeing a transfer fee with Paris.
Paris Saint-Germain have bid £35.5m for Lucas, but Manchester United are now haggling to sign him for less. Lucas was not named in the Paris squad for the game against Amiens on Wednesday night and it looks like he is in the transfer process.
This season, the 25-year-old Lucas, only in the middle of the appearance of 72 minutes, he has been completely reduced to the fringe in Paris. After signing Mbappe and Neymar, Paris also wants to sell Lucas to balance the team's financial situation. It is worth mentioning that Lucas, who plays as a right winger, has excellent crossing ability, and he is exactly the kind of winger Mourinho is very eager to get.
