Jermaine Jenas has raved about Tottenham Hotspur’s Brazilian ace Lucas Moura after his performance against Manchester United.
Jermaine Jenas singled out Tottenham Hotspur attacker Lucas Moura for significant praise after he starred in an impressive 3-0 win over Manchester United on Monday night.
The 26-year-old Brazilian scored twice at Old Trafford in the Premier League clash, while teammate Harry Kane was also on the score sheet with a fine header.
Moura played alongside Kane in a front two and his lightning pace terrorised the United back line throughout.
The Brazilian has started the new campaign with three goals in his opening three games, becoming a vital player for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Ex-Spurs midfielder Jenas went wild about Moura’s latest performance and believes he looks like a new signing.
“Lucas Moura has put in an absolute shift tonight, didn’t give United’s defence any time on the ball and always looked a threat, what a signing this new player is,” Jenas wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Moura has now had time to settle with the North London club following his arrival in January and the speed machine may have found his best position in a central attacking role.
Spurs have received a lot of criticism for not signing a single player in the summer transfer window, but they have have a core group of stars that have kicked off the new campaign in brilliant style.
They now travel to Watford at the weekend in their next match and both teams are looking to protect a 100 per cent record so far this season.
