Declan Rice has been linked with a summer move away from West Ham United, with Arsenal and Manchester United keen.
Declan Rice is thought to be on the radar of Manchester United and Arsenal. A report from The Guardian claims that the Red Devils are now prepared to step up their pursuit of the England international.
Rice wants to play for a club in the Champions League, and moving to Manchester United or Arsenal could be the ideal next step in his career. The England international has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the league, and he deserves to play for a bigger club.
West Ham are fighting for their survival in the Premier League, and Rice will want to compete for the major trophies. Manchester United have shown a lot of improvement under Erik ten Hag, and they will be looking to compete for the league title and the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Red Devils have won the League Cup this season and will be looking to build on that next year. Manchester United certainly have the finances to pull off the transfer, and they are on the verge of a takeover as well. The Red Devils should be able to compete with Arsenal for the 24-year-old’s signature.
Rice has been heavily linked with Arsenal in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if he is keen on a move to a London club. The player has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the past as well. The English international will want to prove himself at a big club after being released by Chelsea during his teenage years.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United have an impressive project, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Rice is reportedly valued at £100 million, and he could cost a club record fee for both sides.
Manchester United will have to bring in a reliable partner for Brazilian international Casemiro, and Rice seems like the perfect option. The 24-year-old will be an upgrade on players like Fred and Scott McTominay next season. The England international could transform Manchester United in the midfield and help them tighten up defensively.
