Jose Mourinho aims to shock the world by signing PSG star in January

The January transfer window is now open and Manchester United, just like other top-flight European clubs will look to bolster its squad to challenge for a trophy.

According to Telegraph Football, French giants Paris St. Germain aim to raise cash and will offload some of its finest players this month.

One potential target being tracked by Manchester United is Brazilian star Lucas Moura.

The outlet reports that PSG is prepared to sell Moura this month, with Manchester United looking like a possible destination.

Moura joined PSG from Sao Paulo after he snubbed Man United’s interest in 2012. Back then, Sir Alex Ferguson managed the Red Devils and Moura would have fit perfectly into the squad, considering Fergie’s attack-minded approach to games.

PSG spent around 222 million euros in the summer, landing superstar Neymar from Barcelona and eventually making a statement on what they want to achieve this season.

With the addition of French teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe, Moura has fallen out of place and only makes cameos off the bench.

It is reported that the Mancunians have not made an offer to PSG but it is expected in the coming weeks.

Moura, 25, plays on the flank and Mourinho will look to strengthen that part of the pitch after summer bids for Gareth Bale and Ivan Perisic were rejected.

Mourinho is reportedly looking to get a permanent number 10 too since Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s performances of late have not been pleasing.

Moura would be a great addition to the Man United squad, which already has fast-paced wingers in Rashford and Martial.
