Great news for the Red Devils fans as United is finally ready make these big transfer statements in January and beyond  

The Red Devils have been heavily linked with a move for the England starlet following his meteoric rise in recent seasons, where he has become one of the first names on Manuel Pellegrini’s teamsheet.

United have been heavily linked with a move for Rice

With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyeing a restructure at Old Trafford orientated around young, British players to go alongside summer signings Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Rice certainly fits the bill.

Solskjaer is determined to restructure United with young talents

National Daily meanwhile gathered that a transfer for the England international would not rule out any move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen.

The 27-year-old playmaker is no longer a certain starter for Mauricio Pochettino this season, and Daniel Levy would be happy to sell in January to ensure that he receives at least some transfer fee for the player.

Eriksen could join United on a free next summer

Eriksen can leave on a free transfer next summer, and could sign a pre-contract agreement with a team on the continent with six months of his deal remaining.

United’s midfield has been highlighted as the key area for strengthening in the upcoming transfer windows, but more changes are expected.

However, National Daily further learnt from report by Goal that West Ham are adamant their academy graduate will not be lured away from the London Stadium and an audacious price-tag of £100m has reportedly been slapped upon his head.

Ashton is not having any of it though, as he believes Rice isn’t worth anywhere near that figure and offered advice to the young talent, telling him to bide his time.

“I feel as if he’s still got improvements to make and there is no better place to learn and do that than West Ham,” he told Goal.
