Declan Rice has previously admitted Old Trafford is one of his “favourite” football stadiums to play in amid reports linking the midfielder with a summer move to Manchester United.
The England international cemented his status as a West Ham United legend last night by skippering the club to its first major honour in 43 years. A nervy 2-1 victory over Fiorentina crowned the Hammers as Europa Conference League champions - becoming just the second side to win the competition.
Rice played 11 of West Ham’s 13 games - including all but one knockout fixture - to inspire his side to glory. It is now widely expected that the 24-year-old will bid farewell to the London Stadium and seek pastures new this summer.
