Pellegrini admits Man Utd target Rice could leave West Ham

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has admitted Declan Rice could leave the club this summer.

20-year-old Rice has made 34 appearances this season and is a target for Manchester United and Manchester City.

"It's impossible, I cannot know the future," Pellegrini told reporters. "He is, of course, a player who has had a brilliant season, who is 20 years old and an English player who has a lot of qualities.

"Maybe some of the big teams, or all of them, will want him. But that is one thing – the other is whether he will stay here or he goes, and I cannot say at this moment."
