West Ham issue Declan Rice transfer update amid Manchester United interest

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini admits there are no certainties over Declan Rice's future at the club ahead of the summer transfer window.

The English midfielder is a transfer target for Manchester United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to rejuvenate his squad and recruit young homegrown talents at the end of the season.

Rice impressed again for West Ham on the final day of the season as his side secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road.

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season at West Ham and is believed to be on the radar of many top clubs ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Ander Herrera is leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season which means United will be in the market for a new central midfielder, and it appears that there is a chance of Rice making a move.

Speaking after the win against Watford, manager Pellegrini admitted Rice's future is still undecided. “It's impossible," he said.

"I cannot know the future. He is, of course, a player who has had a brilliant season, who is 20 years old and an English player who has a lot of qualities.

“Maybe some of the big teams, or all of them, will want him. But that is one thing – the other is whether he will stay here or he goes, and I cannot say at this moment.”
