Lucas Moura has dropped a clear hint he expects to leave Paris Saint-Germain for a move to the Premier League.

Manchester United are interested in the Brazil international but no offer has been made yet, Sky Sports News reports.

Speaking after PSG’s 1-0 win away to Nantes on Sunday, where he was an unused substitute, Lucas seemed resigned to leaving.

Moura said: “It feels like the end of a story for me, unfortunately,” adding that it will be “very difficult” to stay.

When asked about the Premier League, he said: “English football pleases me a lot. It’s the most keenly contested.”

PSG are understood to be willing to sell the 25-year-old, who would be eligible to play in the Champions League having not featured in any of their six Champions League group games.

Moura has not started a Ligue 1 game this season and has played for just over an hour from the bench in his six appearances.
