The race to sign Declan Rice is quickly emerging as this summer's biggest transfer saga.
After leading West Ham to European glory, the England international, 24, has been told that he can leave the London Stadium - but only if the deal is right. So far, no club has met West Ham's asking price of at least £100million, as Arsenal have seen their two bids rejected and Manchester City had their single offer - also worth £90m - rebuffed.
With the pair of Premier League giants now going back to the drawing board, Manchester United have sensed an opportunity. While they remain outsiders to sign Rice, the Telegraph claim that Erik ten Hag and co are deliberating over a bid which could include one or multiple players plus cash in exchange for West Ham's midfield star as part of a lucrative swap deal.
