Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier admits Jadon Sancho was always going to need time to settle in after signing for Manchester United last summer.
Manchester United told 'definite' bonus they would get with £100million Declan Rice transfer
07.02.2022 - 11:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United have been told they would get a 'definite' bonus if they sign Declan Rice for £100million.
During an eye-catching summer transfer window, key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom sanctioned swoops for Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, they were unable to get a deal for a top-level defensive midfielder over the line.
Manchester Evening News understands that has, instead, been identified as a priority for next season and that Rice is still target number one in that regard.
Amadou Haidara, Boubacar Kamara and Ruben Neves from Wolves are viewed as potential alternatives.
Rice is under contract at West Ham until 2024 and, should United or Chelsea come calling for his services, manager David Moyes has already suggested it would take a staggering fee. But after grabbing his fourth goal of the season against non-league Kidderminster in the FA Cup, there is even more than meets the eye with Rice.
Speaking to radio station talkSPORT, pundit Tony Cascarino said: "When he plays a holding midfielder role, where there's no assists or goals, then people always say; 'Well how can you pay £100million to buy a player who doesn't contribute to goals?'
How much is Rice worth? Have your say in the comments section below.
"But he's very good at doing that, I've had this conversation with [West Ham coach] Stuart Pearce, there's goals in Declan Rice.
"I'm not saying that because he scored against Kidderminster, he's got a yard of pace that very few midfielders can stay with, so he can break in.
"He can defend for you, he can win the ball, the simple things and he can get you goals. That's when you can say is he a £100million midfielder if he adds goals to his game? I would say yes."
