Manchester United are 'considering' going head-to-head with Arsenal in the battle to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice.
That is according to a report by The Telegraph, which claims United are prepared to propose a player-plus-cash deal for the England midfielder. United are desperate to strengthen their midfield options this summer and Rice is a player who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford over a lengthy period of time.
The 24-year-old, who helped West Ham clinch the Europa Conference League crown earlier this month, has gone from strength-to-strength over the last couple of years and, as a result, Arsenal have identified him as their top midfield target this summer. They are understood to have already lodged two bids, both of which have been turned down.
But despite the Hammers reportedly demanding somewhere in the region of £100million, United are said to be prepared to throw their hat into the ring, despite the uncertainty surrounding the takeover situation. The Reds are yet to make a signing in this summer's window and their lack of progress has been blamed on the Glazers' dawdling.

Nevertheless, it is claimed that United are prepared to offer West Ham cash, plus either Harry Maguire or Scott McTominay in an attempt to try and hijack Arsenal's move for Rice. The latter is expected to leave the London Stadium this summer and join one of the Premier League's elite.
The midfielder, who started England's 7-0 win over North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday night, made 50 appearances for the Hammers in 2022/23, scoring five goals. He also registered four assists.
