West Ham icon Mark Noble has hailed the 'phenomenal' Manchester United target Declan Rice. The Hammers stalwart said his London Stadium farewell following their 2-2 with Manchester City. But his successor, Rice, faces increased pressure over his future in East London.
United are eager to add to the heart of the midfield, with Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba set to leave, and have been long-standing admirers of the 23-year-old. Manager David Moyes has previously slapped a £150m price-tag on the England international.
