"The rumours about United and Paqueta don't really make sense and I'm skeptical about why they would spend upwards of 60million on him any time soon. I do believe we are coming into a time when the player himself is starting to get itchy feet and wants a new club and a bigger contract, but he does not fit what I understand United to be looking for"
"He's not really of the midfield profile they want at the moment, apart from already being in the Premier League. The links to Spurs and Villa were legitimate ones and at the right price, maybe those sort of deals become feasible again, but West Ham are not going to let him leave on the cheap even at a time when they are pretty limited on what they can spend on the transfer market themselves. It remains to be seen how the situation develops."
Links between Lucas Paqueta and Manchester United are considered unlikely, while previous links to Tottenham and Aston Villa were legitimate and could be feasible at the right price. West Ham value Paqueta highly and could demand in excess of £60 million, making any transfer expensive despite market constraints. Paqueta is becoming eager for a new club and a bigger contract, suggesting he may seek a move if suitable offers arrive. Manchester United need midfield quality to compete for major trophies, and Paqueta offers workrate, creativity, drive and Premier League experience, but the fit appears imperfect for now.
