Tottenham midfielder Lucas Moura has explained turning down Manchester United.

Moura was unhappy with the fact a switch to United would have only been a loan agreement.

That meant the winger linked up with Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham instead.

“There was a conversation with United but it was for a loan and I didn't want a loan," he told the Guardian.

“I thought that if I left PSG, I didn't want to go back. When I came to Tottenham, and I saw the training ground and met the coach, I said that I wanted to come here."
