Manchester United are reportedly exploring a swap deal involving Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard after ‘talks on England duty’.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has long been a fan of the Hammers star, 22, who has continued his meteoric rise to become the Three Lions’ top defensive midfielder.

Chelsea are among a host of European giants keen to sign former Blues academy product Rice.

And David Moyes has warned it would take bids in excess of £100million to sign him.

Even then, Moyes wants to keep Rice at the London Stadium – particularly if West Ham manage to keep their place in the top four and qualify for next season’s Champions League.

But Man Utd are keen to discuss a swap deal involving Lingard in order to tempt the Hammers into selling their star man.
