Former Premier League centre-back Rio Ferdinand has once again been waxing lyrical about West Ham ace Declan Rice.
The 23-year-old midfielder continues to improve week on week whilst the Hammers push for a top-four finish.
Such is the case that speculation about where the future of the established England international may lie continues to rumble on in the background.
Speaking on his own FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand was discussing the possibility of Manchester United targeting Rice.
Declan Rice, I’ve said enough about him. I love this player, I love this guy. If you’re one of the top teams, you want to build a team around him.
The 43-year-old also urged the Old Trafford club to target Aston Villa star, John McGinn.
This season Rice has scored four times and provided four assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Who doesn’t love the 27-cap England man by now?
One time seemingly underrated, Rice has converted every doubter with continued superb performances over the last two years.
Undoubtedly ready for the next step, West Ham and David Moyes will want to earn UEFA Champions League football for next season in order to keep their £67.5million valued prized asset at the club.
Missing out on the elite European competition means admiring glances such as this from Ferdinand will only intensify.
