The reports linking Declan Rice with a move to Manchester United simply won’t disappear.
Man United have won just four Premier League matches so far this season, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job in jeopardy.
The Red Devils are expected to be active in the January transfer window though, with the current squad labelled as their worst ever.
According to Goal, Solskjaer will look to the London Stadium and Rice could arrive at Old Trafford alongside Jadon Sancho in January.
Rice has been ever-present for West Ham United this season, featuring in every single league game so far as well as becoming a regular in the England squad.

His profile fits Solskjaer’s ideal signing perfectly which is potentially why the links won’t die down but are they really realistic?
January is a tough time to do business anyway, so it seems baffling that the Hammers would let one of their most important figures leave with such little time to replace him.
Not to forget Rice himself, who seems more than happy to play his football in East London for the foreseeable future.
I wouldn’t read into this report too much, but it should be seen as a compliment that Rice is being held in such high regard.
