Manchester United have asked West Ham about a price for Declan Rice.

The Sun says United have contacted West Ham about a possible deal for Rice.

United showed an interest in the midfielder last season after he shone in the Premier League and forced his way into the England squad.

But they have returned to ask about his availability as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ramps up his rebuilding plans ahead of the start of pre-season training.

West Ham are desperate to keep hold of the highly-rated 20-year-old who has been a revelation since switching from defence into a holding midfielder role.

They told United that Rice was not for sale, although it is thought that should an offer of around £80million come in then they may decide to do business.
