He also thinks the Brazilian international for the Hammers would be a starter for Manchester United.

West Ham won 2-1 against Freiburg in the Europa League on Thursday night, and Paqueta scored his second goal of the season.

The 26-year-old was eager to join Manchester City in the summer and was frequently linked with a move there, but he ultimately decided to remain in east London.

Paqueta is unfazed by the possibility that such a transfer would not occur and has continued to demonstrate his quality.

Bent seems to really appreciate his attitude, and as a result, he thinks he may advance in his profession.

I wouldn’t sаy he’s too excellent for West Ham, but what I will sаy, and it’s fair credit to him, is that we’ve seen this happen previously on both sides of the spectrum, as he explained on talkSPORT Drive.

We’ve seen players who are supposed to be moving to bigger clubs return to their original teams acting like they don’t want to be there and causing problems by sulking and waving their arms around.

Then there are those who are like Paqueta, and I always find myself thinking about the Eden Hazard case. His transfer request from Chelsea to Real Madrid was denied.

He won the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year award and had an incredible final season at Chelsea. But what Paqueta is doing for West Ham makes this partnership seem fated.He’s entertaining to watch because he’s talented offensively, inventive creatively, technically proficient, and tremendously hard working. He seems to get a lot of satisfaction out of being a part of that football team.

Can I see him playing at a higher level? I think he can play for a team in the Champions League, and he does play for Brazil, but I think he’s doing a tremendous job right now for West Ham.

Co-host Andy Goldstein then pressed Bent on whether he thought Paqueta was too good for West Ham, and Bent responded, “I don’t think he’s too good, it’s hard to sаy he’s too good for them, there are obviously players out there that are too good.”You wouldn’t sаy something like, “Right away someone like Paqueta should be playing for City,” so I don’t think that’s the case for West Ham right now. He is not yet a member of their starting eleven.

When asked, though, if he would be included in United’s starting XI, he responded, “Yeah. Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and him, without a doubt.

“I really enjoy watching him play, I think he’s a good player,” Bent said of the other player. “As I said, he works hard, but the biggest compliment is that his attitude just seems to be spot on, hasn’t sulked at all.”
