Manchester United have joined the interest for Flamengo midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

The young attacker has attracted enquiries from Barcelona, AC Milan and PSG in recent months, with his Fla contract carrying a €50m buyout clause.

Fla would be prepared to do business for €40m and United are in contact.

Le 10 Sport says United have opened talks with Fla for Paqueta with the aim of bringing him to England in January.

United's move for the youngster is expected to spark an auction ahead of the winter market.
