Paris Saint-Germain attacker Lucas Moura has seemingly given Manchester United a boost in the race for his signature during the January transfer window.
Having failed to start a match for PSG all season, Moura is expected to be allowed to leave the Parc des Princes before the end of the month and the Brazilian international has acknowledged that his future could lie away from the Ligue 1 giants.
United have been strongly linked with Moura as Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen his squad at Old Trafford, and the player has spoken about a possible move to the Premier League.
The 25-year-old told L'Equipe: "It feels the end of a story for me unfortunately. Can I stay? It will be very difficult.
"Manchester United? There are topics I cannot talk about. English football I like a lot, it is the most competitive championship."
United are also said to have an agreement in place to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, but it is unclear whether that will impact on their alleged interest in Moura.
