Paul Scholes was so impressed with Lucas Paqueta during West Ham’s win over Manchester United on Saturday that the Brazilian reminded him of Eric Cantona.
Paqueta was the creator as the Hammers beat the Red Devils 2-0 at the London Stadium, setting up the goals scored by Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
That comes after Paqueta laid on assists for all three of West Ham’s goals in a 3-0 win over Wolves in their last Premier League outing.
Scholes likes what he sees from the former Lyon man, not just by his silky skills, but also his physical presence, reminding him of the legendary Frenchman.
‘He’s so impressive, he can do everything,’ Scholes told TNT Sports. ‘The big thing that surprised me today was his physicality, the size of the man! He’s a right unit.
‘He almost reminds me of Cantona in that way, in that people just bounce off him.
‘But to go with that he’s got that brilliant quality that Jarrod Bowen and Kudus must be licking their lips, every time he gets the ball they make runs and they’re going to be found, like that bit of brilliance he produced today.’

Paqueta came close to a move to Manchester City in the summer and Scholes has no doubt that European giants will be interested in the 26-year-old.
‘With performances like that there will be big clubs wanting him,’ said the Manchester United icon. ‘No disrespect to West Ham, I know they’re a big club, but you talk about Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona. You can see him playing in those teams because the lad has real quality.’
It was Paqueta’s superb pass which set up Bowen’s opener and the England international is delighted with the quality and flexibility the front three are showing for West Ham.

‘When I scored that goal I was playing off the right and I think that’s the flexibility that me, Mo and Lucas have got, interchanging positions,’ he said.
‘I received it, played it to Lucas, then it was a lovely ball over the top and just up to me to keep my nerve and it fell to me put away. If it’s us three, we’re really interchangeable and not predictable for the opposition to mark us out of the game.’

‘We need to make a lot of changes to make this team more competitive.’
Ian Pepperell has died aged 53 (Picture: BBC)
Ian Pepperell has died at aged 53.
The star was best known for his role as Roy Tucker across more than 400 episodes of The Archers, a BBC Radio 4 soap drama running from 2007 to 2023.
He also starred in episodes of EastEnders and appeared in The Bill.
His death comes after a long illness, the BBC said.
Jeremy Howe, editor of The Archers, said: ‘Ian was the perfect Archers actor – he loved being part of an ensemble, relished the camaraderie and gossip of the Green Room, and had a seemingly effortlessly fine tuned vocal technique.
‘Like all the very best radio actors he could think on his feet and change the way he played a scene in the blink of an eye.
‘Thanks to Ian’s brilliance, he created in Roy a character who managed to face in two directions simultaneously in almost every scene he played.
‘He captured Roy as both genial and anxious, funny and sad, easy-going and permanently stressed – a man who could hold down with ease a top job, yet who always carried with him Hamlet’s sense of failure. It all made perfect sense because of Ian’s uncanny and laser-guided ability to find humour in the emotional scenes, and find pathos in the comedy that he always played so unerringly well.
‘Ian had a lot more gas in the tank and was desperate to return to Ambridge once his health permitted. It is tragic that he died in his prime, we will miss him dearly and our hearts go out to his family and friends and everyone who knew him. Ambridge loved Roy – The Archers and our millions of listeners loved Ian’s Roy Tucker.’
