Manchester United have received a major boost in their pursuit of Declan Rice, according to reports.
The West Ham midfielder is enjoying a fantastic season at the London Stadium, as David Moyes’ men attempt to secure qualification for the Champions League.
The 22-year-old is expected to start for England at this summer’s European Championship, having seen his stock rise considerably this term.
Rice was linked with a move to Chelsea last summer, and the former Blues boss recently admitted he did try to re-sign the club’s former academy member.
Rice is said to be among United’s list of transfer targets, with key figures at the club convinced he would shine at Old Trafford.
Rice asked United players about the club while he was on England duty during last month’s international break.
Dean Henderson, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw were in Gareth Southgate’s squad throughout the break, while Marcus Rashford featured against San Marino.
Moyes stated in March that he believes Rice is worth “far more” than the £100m that has often been quoted.
