As the January 2026 transfer window approaches, Manchester United have identified West Ham's Lucas Paquetá as a primary target to revitalize their midfield. The club's pursuit has already moved into an active phase, with representatives from Old Trafford having held initial discussions with the Brazilian playmaker.

This potential move aligns with the ambitions of all parties involved. Reports indicate that Paquetá himself is seeking a new challenge and intends to depart in January.

Furthermore, West Ham may be compelled to consider a sale, as the club is said to be facing a need to generate funds following substantial financial losses. The transfer's success now appears to hinge on Manchester United and West Ham finding common ground on a valuation deemed acceptable for the talented midfielder.
