The youngster could be a great addition for United, who are lacking something in midfield at the moment as Paul Pogba fails to hit top form and summer signing Fred struggles to settle in after joining from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Paqueta could be a great coup for United if they can see off plenty of competition for his signature, with Le 10 Sport adding that the likes of Barcelona and AC Milan are in for him.
