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

However, the Scot has insisted no deal has been made for the 19-year-old Sao Paulo winger amid reports that the clubs have reached a £26m agreement.

Ferguson said: "It's not correct. We haven't reached an agreement for the player.

"We have shown an interest, but until such time a we get a deal agreed, we can't say he's our player."
