The 19-year-old has attracted a huge amount of limelight in recent times and was strongly linked with a move to English Premier League giants, Manchester United
The Red Devils were willing to splash 30 million Pounds on the teenage sensation and reports were claiming that a deal is in final stages.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain hijacked United’s bid for the Sao Paulo player. The oil-money-fuelled club from Paris secured the services of the teenage prodigy after paying 45 million Euros for his signature.

The question that arises from all this, is whether the 19-year-old has made the right choice in choosing Paris Saint-Germain over Manchester United or not.
As far as Paris Saint-Germain are concerned, addition of the 19-year-old will surely boost their line-up and Les Parisiens’ strike force will get more firepower upfront.
However, the question in everyone minds is how Lucas http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908 will fit in at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ile giants already have so many players at their disposal who can play at the position where Moura usually plays. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345, Nene and Lavezzi, all will be ahead in the pecking order at Parc des Princes and the 19-year-old will not get much chance
in Paris to make his mark.
Lucas Moura is a kind of player who can easily walk in some of the best teams in the world and with the amount of talent he has, it would be unfair not to provide him with enough first-team opportunities.
However, if we look at the other side of the picture, Paris Saint-Germain are right to splash 45 million Euros on the Brazilian. If we take a look at the transfer market at the moment, it would not be wrong to assume that Moura’s price tag will only increase
with time.
Les Parisiens have also signed another emerging player this season, in form of Italian, Marco Verratti. That shows that the Ligue 1 outfit is not only looking at the near future only, they have one eye at the long-term future as well.

However, there are several negative aspects of Moura’s move to Paris Saint-Germain as well.
Had he opted to join Manchester United rather than PSG, the 19-year-old would have had more chances of establishing himself as a first-team player in Manchester. History tells us that the Premier League outfit has developed several players, who arrived at
Old Trafford as raw talents, into world class players.
Lucas Moura usually plays as a right-sided winger and he would have been an instant hit in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, keeping in mind the 4-4-2 formation, by which United usually play.
On top of everything, the 19-year-old would have learned a lot under the tutelage of arguably the best manager in the world, Sir Alex Ferguson. And playing in the Premier League, known as the best league in Europe, would have enhanced his skills and abilities.
Lucas Moura has a bright future ahead and it is up to now him and his new employers to develop him into a world class player in the coming years.
