Former Hammer Frank McAvennie believes the midfielder will agree to a move to Old Trafford to advance his career.
“Him (Rice), Casemiro, and [Bruno] Fernandes would make a good midfield.”
Rice was a key member of Gareth Southgate’s squad that reached the last eight of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, helping the Three Lions win silver.
In recent years, the 24-year-old England international has been one of the Premier League’s greatest holding midfielders. Then again, who doesn’t?
Erik ten Hag has mostly used the 4-2-3-1 formation at Old Trafford, and players like Casemiro and Eriksen have started in central midfield this season.
Declan Rice’s current contract with West Ham expires in 2024, and a cost of about £80 million would be required to secure his signature in the summer.
Casemiro is undoubtedly the best defensive midfielder in the world, and I don’t believe United needs to sign another playmaker in his absence. To boost the department, a creative midfielder must be signed. What are your thoughts?
