Manchester United target Declan Rice will stay put at West Ham this summer, according to reports.
Despite signing Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in time for last season, United were unable to strengthen in central midfield after Rice was deemed to be priority number one for that position. Since then, the Old Trafford giants have also moved on to other targets under Erik ten Hag.
That came with the Hammers digging their heels in over a valuation for the player. Switching their attentions over to Frenkie de Jong and alternative pursuits, United have now reached an agreement in principle for De Jong and his summer transfer from Barcelona is expected to be rubber-stamped in the coming days.
