Declan Rice, a West Ham midfielder, is expected to depart the club in the summer transfer window, according to Paul Merson. The Sky Sports commentator praised the England player, calling him "phenomenal" in the middle. This season, the 23-year-old has been fantastic, and he has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United. However, Manchester United will allegedly face competition for Declan Rice this summer from Chelsea and Manchester City, with West Ham apparently demanding £100 million for the midfielder. Manchester United will have to "break the bank" to sign the midfielder, according to Paul Merson.
Rice's comments following United's stoppage-time defeat at Old Trafford had supporters talking, although it's unclear if he would choose United over Chelsea, the team he grew up supporting and playing for.
