The long-winded Premier League season has now come to an end as we reflect on a crazy season.
West Ham's story has been spectacular, but it may not be the best of news for Manchester United fans as they wait patiently for the rumors surrounding Declan Rice.
Because of Jesse Lingard's sensational form, Manchester United fans would have been watching the Hammers after January this season.
During his first ten appearances for the club, the attacking midfielder on loan from Manchester United scored nine goals and assisted four others.
Lingard's form has raised concerns about a possible swap deal for defensive midfielder Declan Rice, who is valued at £51.00 million by Transfermarkt.
Rice, like the 28-year-old star, has been in sensational form, protecting the defense and contributing to the goals that led to West Ham's promotion to the Premier League.
Former Manchester United manager David Moyes, speaking to BBC Sport, played down rumors of Rice's possible transfer to another club.
When asked if he is now in competition with other clubs to keep the 22-year-old next season, Moyes simply replied, "Not at all."
Moyes' position is bolstered by the fact that the Hammers have secured Europa League football for next season after finishing with the most points in Premier League history.
The Hammers manager also responded to a question about how confident he is about keeping the defensive midfielder at the club next season, saying he is "100% sure."
According to football. London, Moyes spoke to the media once more, this time about Declan Rice, and how he fully expects him to play next season.
“I don't think David Sullivan, David Gold, or myself want to lose Declan Rice,” Moyes stated.
“We just qualified for Europe, which I think is a fantastic achievement, and Declan is a big part of that, and we want him to be a big part of what we do next year as well.”
