Lucas Moura has agreed to join Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in Italy.
The 25-year-old is on Jose Mourinho‘s shortlist as the United manager looks to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window.
Lucas has played just 72 minutes in Ligue 1 this season and PSG are ready to cash in on the Brazilian this month.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Lucas wants to make a permanent move to Old Trafford but United and PSG have not yet reached an agreement.

According to reports in France, the Ligue 1 leaders could accept a lower fee as the winger has less than two years left on his contract.
Le Parisien also reported on Tuesday that Lucas’ entourage are pushing the winger towards a move to the Premier League and are also targeting Liverpool.
MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly agreed personal terms with Lucas Moura ahead of a potential £35million move from Paris Saint-Germain.

And now the Brazilian has agreed to leave the French capital for Old Trafford, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
However, United and PSG remain locked in talks as they aim to thrash out an agreement over the fee for the winger.
Lucas, 25, has played just 72 minutes in Ligue 1 this season.
After their heavy outlay in the summer, including the world-record signing of Neymar for £198m, PSG are willing to allow him to leave to help go towards balancing the books with financial fair play in mind.

It is believed that the Red Devils only want Lucas to initially join on loan until the end of the season with an option of a permanent deal.
But PSG are only interested in doing business upfront.
They have set their price at £35m and are determined not to budge.
However, they are aware that he only has two years remaining on his contract at Parc des Princes.

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly agreed terms with Lucas Moura ahead of a £35m swoop from Paris St-Germain.
Boss Jose Mourinho is keen to add a pacy winger to his United squad. In the summer they chased Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic only to be put off by the Italian club’s huge asking price. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has also fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and could be heading out this month. PSG, on the other hand, have several stars on the peripheral of the first-team. Since the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe last year, Moura has found playing time at the Parc des Princes hard to come by.

The Brazilian has played just 72 minutes of Ligue 1 action this season. Neymar and Mbappe’s transfers were also huge financially, with the ex-Barcelona star arriving for just under £200m whilst teenage sensation Mbappe will join permanently for £166m this summer. It means it is likely the Parisian club will need to balance the books to keep on the right side of Financial Fair Play rules.

It is understood that the Red Devils want Moura to join on loan initially with an option of a permanent deal. But the Ligue 1 leaders are only interested in letting him go for good. They want £35m for the 25-year-old and will not accept anything less.
That is according to Sky Sports reporter and transfer expert Dharmesh Sheth.
Moura has emerged as a target for Manchester United this month as Jose Mourinho looks to add to his squad.
Reports today said United and PSG had agreed a fee for the winger but Sheth says those claims are wide of the mark.
The Red Devils are said to be interested in a loan move for the Brazilian but PSG want to sell get rid of him on a permanent deal.
