Manchester United to rival Chelsea for Declan Rice?

Manchester United may reportedly rival Chelsea for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice during the summer transfer window.

Manchester United have reportedly identified West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice as a potential summer transfer target.

West Ham have always insisted that the England international, who possesses a contract until 2024, is not for sale at any price.

However, speculation persists regarding a future transfer to Chelsea after Rice spent part of his youth days at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United are prepared to rival the Blues should they make an approach for the 21-year-old at the end of the campaign.

Despite currently being well stocked for options in the middle of the pitch, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is aware that he may soon need to find a replacement for Paul Pogba.

Rice is expected to cost in excess of £60m should he leave the London Stadium during one of the next two transfer windows.
