Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United could reportedly make a bid for Arsenal target and West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice.
According to 90min, Arsenal and Manchester United are among the clubs who are interested in signing Declan Rice from Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also reported to be keen on the 24-year-old England international midfielder.
Arsenal’s opening bid of £80 million plus £10 million in add-ons for Rice has been rejected by West Ham, which is a blow for the Gunners.
According to 90min, “talks will continue been West Ham and Arsenal in the coming days but Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are all waiting in the wings to make an offer for Rice.”
Arsenal should bid again for Manchester United target Declan Rice
Now, we know that Manchester United have issues over takeover, which is a factor behind them not making official bids for any player at the moment.
However, you never know – that could be sorted soon, and Arsenal need to be really wary of it.
Like Arsenal, Manchester United are a big club who will compete for the Premier League title and also play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
If the Gunners are really determined to sign Rice, then they have to get a deal done soon.
After all, if United are waiting in the wings and monitoring proceedings over Rice, then they could make a move soon.
We believe that Arsenal should make a new bid for Rice soon and try to strike a deal as early as possible.
