Declan Rice, the England international has been linked with Manchester united after
enjoying a fine breakthrough season in the Premier League for the Hammers,
including in their 3-1 win over United in September.
However, if United
want to sign the 20-year-old, the Irish Independent say that West Ham would
likely demand a fee in excess of £50million for the youngster.
The report also
says Nemanja Matic’s future at United will be in doubt if Rice arrives, as the
club may look to recoup some of the transfer fee.
Chelsea are also
said to be monitoring Rice, and manager Maurizio Sarri this week praised his
defensive abilities and noted his improvement this season.
Meanwhile, United
have been scouting Thomas Meunier all season as they look to shore up their
defence this summer, according to a report in The Sun.
The report claims
there are doubts £19m-signing Diogo Dalot can make the position his own and
United have been looking at the PSG defender as an alternative.
Solskjaer refused
to rule out any positions when he spoke about how he would strengthen the squad
in the summer. Meunier has made 28 appearances for PSG this season and notched
an impressive five goals and seven assists.
Finally, United
scouts were watching DC United striker Luciano Acosta this weekend, reports
say.
