Man United have joined the race to sign Arsenal target Declan Rice from West Ham this summer.

According to Sky Sports, the Red Devils want to add the England international to a thin squad looking to hold on to a top-four spot this season after two defeats in four days on the road meant the gap between them and Liverpool is now only one point with Erik Ten Hag’s side having a game in hand.

Man United keen on summer swoop for West Ham captain Declan Rice

And Rice’s player-of-the-match performance against United on Sunday would have only helped his credentials that he could fit in at Old Trafford with the 24-year-old showing his class and impressive fitness in what was his 56th competitive fixture for club and country in all competitions this season.

However, it is believed that Arsenal remain favorites to sign Rice with the Hammers demanding a fee of around $150m for their star asset this summer with reports also stating they are willing to accept a fee of around $126m and a player in exchange for the defensive midfielder.
