Manchester United look set to step up their interest in Declan Rice, with the Red Devils willing to offer the Hammers a player-plus-cash deal.

Arsenal remain the front-runners in the race to sign the England international, but the Gunners have failed to reach the asking price.

United have been long-term admirers of Rice, but have been assessing other midfield options to this point. However, the Red Devils are reportedly considering offering players in a deal for the England international, according to the Telegraph.

It is believed that West Ham could be open to the structure being presented by Erik ten Hag’s side, as they are long-term admirers of Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay.

Rice remain one of the most sought-after talents in Europe this summer, with Manchester City also showing an interest in the West Ham captain.
