Manchester United will challenge Chelsea for the signature of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice at the end of the season, say reports.

The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last summer, but ESPN reports that United have now entered the race.

West Ham are determined not to let him go without a fight, and will demand £70 million for a young player who still has another three-and-a-half years left to run on his contract, with the option of a further year.

Rice’s potential move to Manchester could depend on Paul Pogba, whose future remains up in the air since his agent Mino Raiola publicly said he intended to find a new club for the Frenchman.
