Paul Merson has urged Declan Rice to snub a move to Manchester United this summer, and has predicted the midfielder will stay at West Ham.
Rice has been linked with a move away from the Hammers, having established himself as one of the Premier League’s standout players over the past two years. United and Chelsea have been touted as possible destinations for the 23-year-old, who has continued his fine form after impressing in England’s run to the Euro 2020 final last year.
United have long been admirers of Rice, having identified him as a priority transfer target. With midfield an area for incoming manager Erik ten Hag to strengthen, the West Ham ace has been tipped as a summer target.
