Jermaine Defoe says West Ham star and Manchester United target Declan Rice reminds him of Reds icon Michal Carrick.
The Hammers skipper has risen to the fore in recent seasons. He has become a key player for David Moyes' side and also staked his claim as one of the first names on the teamsheet at international level with England.
United are looking to add reinforcements in the middle of the pitch and have already identified the 23-year-old as a potential option. The West Ham boss has previously claimed the midfielder could cost in excess of £150m.
