Rice has been linked with a move to Manchester United in previous transfer windows, but the Hammers have been adamant on keeping their star player.

With that in mind, it’s said they’re want at least £100 million for the 22-year-old, who started every England game at Euro 2020, when they were defeated by Italy in the final.

United are reluctant to spend that kind of money, according to the source, so they may have to go elsewhere if they want to improve their midfield.

This may take them to Molineux and Portugal international Neves, who could be available for about £60 million, a significant difference from Rice’s asking price.

While he isn’t the same kind of player as Rice, his passing skills are seen to fit in nicely with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s double pivot, which often features Fred and Scott McTominay.

United aren’t the only ones keeping an eye on Neves; Arsenal are also reportedly interested in the 24-year-old, while the Red Devils have also considering Eduardo Camavinga of Stade Rennes.
