Manager Alex Ferguson confirmed that he wants to see Brazilian national team midfielder Lucas Moura in the team.

However, the news that Manchester's team had agreed with "Sao Paulo" for a 34 million euro compensation for the 19-year-old footballer, which appeared in the British media, was denied.

"No agreement has been reached. We expressed interest, but until we shake hands, we cannot say that he will play in the team," Ferguson said.

This summer, "Man Utd" acquired Japanese national team midfielder Shinji Kagawa and young "Crewe" striker Nick Powell. It is believed that a couple more players could strengthen the squad.

"We do not intend to lie - we are working hard to acquire players for the club before the transfer window closes," Ferguson said.
