Sir Alex confirms Manchester United want Lucas Moura

The highly-rated 19-year-old is a transfer target for both Real Madrid and Inter Milan, but United are believed to be leading the race for the Brazil international's signature.

Reports in Britain on Monday morning claimed that a deal worth £26 million has already been agreed between the Red Devils and São Paulo, but Ferguson insists that is not the case.

''It's not correct,'' the Scot told a press conference in Shanghai. ''We haven't reached an agreement for the player. We've shown an interest but until such time a we get a deal agreed we can't say he's our player.''
