Manchester United want Lyon winger Afonso Moreira | OneFootball

Manchester United are interested in signing Lyon winger Afonso Moreira in the summer transfer window, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola.

They are expected to strengthen in attack as they prepare for Champions League football next season.

Moreira has caught the eye of the Red Devils after an individual campaign which ‘has surprised everyone in France’.

The 21-year-old Portuguese attacker has bagged eight goals and 11 assists in 35 games across all competitions.

Moreira joined Lyon from Sporting CP last summer. The sporting director of the Ligue 1 club, Paulo Fonseca, has been blown away by his hard work. He praised him for his ‘energy and intensity’.

Serie A and Bundesliga clubs have also expressed an interest in the Portuguese winger, but a move to Man United could be more appealing.

The youngster has been tipped to break into the Portugal senior national team, and joining the Red Devils could fast-track his international progress.

His crossing, passing and frequent defensive contributions have attracted suitors to him, and a big summer could be on the cards for him.

Man United are desperate to impress across all competitions next season and win silverware, and they will need better wingers and finishers than Amad Diallo.

Moreira fits the bill, and luring him to the Theatre of Dreams could be huge for the Red Devils.

He has the potential to become one of the best in his position in Europe after hitting the ground running in his debut season in France.

Moreira will be available for a decent fee if Lyon agree to sell him, and more suitors are likely to emerge over the next few weeks.
