"I hope you to succeed." is this correct?

I know that "hope" can not take the form, "hope + Objective + to + Verb". (In contrast to that, "want + Objectve + to + Verb" is possible.) But sometimes I can see that form in places. Can you see something wrong with "I hope you to succeed,"? Please tell me whether it is correct or not. Thanks!

Welcome to EnglishForward, Lucas. It's quite possible that what you've seen was a simple typo, or possibly a sentence written by a non-native speaker (who had made a grammatical error). All of these are grammatically correct: - I hope you succeed.
