Manchester United target Lucas ''focused'' on the Olympics

The agent of São Paulo midfielder Lucas Moura has insisted that his client is solely focused on helping Brazil win gold at the Olympic Games after Manchester United admitted their interest in the player.

Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed on Monday morning that the club are chasing Lucas' signature, but denied reports that a deal had already been agreed.

Lucas' representative Wagner Ribeiro has echoed Ferguson, and stressed that the attacker's preparations for the London Games have not been disrupted by all the speculation.

''This is just speculation from the English press,'' Ribeiro told Gazeta Esportiva. ''All the parties have to agree. The player, the buying club and the selling club. 

''I guarantee 100 per cent that Lucas has not done a deal [with United]. He is focused on the Olympics.''
