United confirm Lucas interest

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed his interest in Brazil international Lucas Moura.

However, the Scot insists no deal has been agreed for the 19-year-old Sao Paulo winger. Ferguson's comments came during a press conference in Shanghai on Monday morning amid reports the two clubs had reached an agreement.

He said: "It's not correct. We haven't reached an agreement for the player. We have shown an interest, but until such time we get a deal agreed, we can't say he's our player."
