Accused of cheating by taking yellow cards to help his friends win bets, Lucas Paqueta is in the sights of the FA. If the 26-year-old has only commented on the affair once, he will defend himself with his lawyers to avoid a premature end to his career.
The Sun brings new information to this file, such that the Brazilian would have asked David Moyes not to play the opening match of this season against Bournemouth, to avoid an injury and compromise his transfer to Manchester City at the time, which will be ultimately aborted. Eventually, he played it and was even booked in the 93rd minute of play, alerting the FA to launch the investigation.
