Man Utd captain Fernandes: Why Rice so good

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has admitted that facing Declan Rice is never easy.

The former West Ham United talisman has moved to a new London side - Arsenal - for the coming years.

Rice, who is also a key member of the England team, has an all action and physical style that Fernandes appreciates.

Asked about his toughest opponent for the Sky Sports YouTube channel, he stated: "It is a difficult one.

"In the Premier League you play against top, top players. I can tell you (N'Golo) Kante was difficult, Rodri is really difficult, Declan Rice is really difficult.

"Declan and Rodri are physically really similar. Kante is more small but quick and sharp."
