Manchester United have been linked with England international and West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice yet again. Can they get his signature before the end of the summer?
According to the Evening Standard, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to sign a playmaker for next season, and Manchester United are willing to make a bid for Rice in order to put the Hammers' resolve to the test.

Under Moyes, skipper Mark Noble spent most of the season on the bench and only started eight Premier League games.
In such a case, 22-year-old Rice wore the captain's armband for the majority of the season, leading West Ham to their first top-six finish in over two decades.
The young holding midfielder has already made 15 appearances for the senior national team, and manager Garethe Southgate has named him to the squad for the European Championships.
According to ES, the Three Lions DM is not looking to leave West Ham this summer. However, in my opinion, he should, and the prospect of playing in the Champions League at Old Trafford could be enticing. Rice is interested in joining Manchester United, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Rice's current contract with the London-based club will expire in more than three years, so a bid of £70 million (ESPN) could be required to sign him.
The Red Devils desperately need to sign a proven quality play breaker because they currently lack one. Liverpool has Fabinho, Manchester City has Rodri, and Chelsea has Kante and Jorginho. Ole, on the other hand, has a veteran in Matic, whose best days are long gone and the Serbian rarely makes the starting lineup.
As a result, Manchester United should make a strong push to secure Declan Rice's signature. We'll see how the transfer saga plays out during the summer transfer window.
