Former Arsenal and England midfielder Paul Merson has called on Manchester United to "break the bank" in order sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice this summer.
The England international, as reported by the Manchester Evening News back in September, is a concrete target for the Reds this coming summer, as they look to strengthen their holding midfield options, and the club has already discussed the framework for how a deal to lure him to Old Trafford could be constructed.
United's need for a world-class defensive-midfielder has grown stronger and stronger this season and it is a position they wanted to strengthen in January. However, despite links with several other options, no deal ever came to fruition.
