Manchester clubs make Lucas contact

The father of Brazilian youngster Lucas Moura has claimed that both Manchester United and Manchester City have invited his son to England.

It is believed that Jorge Rodrigues and agent Wagner Ribeiro recently travelled around Europe to hold meetings with members of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan.

It now appears that a second round of talks, including with the Manchester duo, will take place in the near future.

"Everyone in Europe would want Lucas," Rodrigues told UOL. "Mourinho told me if there is a kid ready to play in Europe then it is Lucas. Guardiola and Inter's manager said the same.

"[The Manchester clubs have] invited us to go and we go, without any commitment. It is good to know."

The 19-year-old currently plays for Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.
