Declan Rice has shot to the top of Erik Ten Hag’s summer buying list after his performance against Manchester United. The midfielder has long been a favorite of the Dutchman. Ten Hag reportedly expressed amazement at his performance following Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Manchester United.
A source said, ‘Rice is fast emerging as United’s number one summer target. He completely ran the game and United’s coaching staff and scouts were all talking about him after the match.’
He continued, ‘There’s a growing belief that Rice is interested in leaving at the end of the season and United believe they simply have to ensure he heads north and not to Arsenal or Chelsea. The club regard him as a player they could potentially build a team around.’
🚨 Manchester United have joined the race for Declan Rice, who is valued at £120m by West Ham. Although, the Hammers would accept around £100m + a player.
Arsenal remains his most likely destination.

Marcus Rashford, a teammate of Rice’s from England, was overheard asking the United attacker for the Hammers captain’s jersey as they chatted following the game. The source added, ‘Declan is good friends with Marcus and Luke Shaw from England. Man Utd believe they can persuade Rice that his future lies with them in Manchester.’
The source continued, ‘It would be a massive sign of intent and a great way for any new owners to show they are determined to try and match Manchester City in the years ahead.’
Said Benrahma’s goal gave West Ham a victory over the Red Devils, damaging the club’s prospects of finishing in the top four despite Liverpool being only one point behind them.

The source said: “Erik still has faith in David. He still has a future at the club. It’s likely De Gea will start next season in goal for United. There was interest in Jordan Pickford earlier this season. But after he signed a new deal with Everton that interest has cooled.’
