Declan Rice 'not interested in Manchester United move'

West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice is reportedly not interested in joining Manchester United.

The England international has been in impressive form for the Hammers during the 2020-21 campaign, making 18 appearances in all competitions, including every minute of his team's Premier League season this far.

United, alongside Chelsea, are thought to be interested in signing the 21-year-old in the near future, with Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said to be an admirer.

However, according to The Mirror, Rice has told close friends that he is not interested in moving to Manchester and wants to remain in London, either staying with West Ham or potentially returning to Chelsea.

Rice, who is thought to be valued by his current side in the region of £80m, has a contract at the London Stadium until the summer of 2024.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is said to be keen on the midfielder but senior figures at Stamford Bridge allegedly have reservations over a move.
