Manchester United's players have asked Declan Rice about joining them at Old Trafford, it has been revealed.

United players had a 'light-hearted' transfer chat with Rice during the last international break, reports the Athletic.

The West Ham star has been in fine form this season. But he could be on the move when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign.

During the last international break, the West Ham vice-captain had 'light-hearted' talks with the United players in the England camp.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to explore the possibility of signing the Hammers star during negotiations for Jesse Lingard, who has taken the London Stadium by storm since his January arrival.

But any deal may be tricky to strike, with West Ham previously insisting they'll demand over £100million to let Rice leave the club.
