However, an agreement seems unlikely for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Manchester United will need to improve in the middle of the park if they are to fight for big trophies. Paqueta will further increase your workload, creativity, and motivation. He is well accustomed to English football and could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Paqueta wants to compete at the highest level and will want a top club to join him. A withdrawal in January seems unlikely. West Ham are in a precarious position after a poor start to the season. They are fighting for survival and selling one of their best players could be a huge setback.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United logo and &#8216;Breaking News&#8217; banner (Photo by George Wood\/Getty Images) West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
