Manchester United boss Ole, Gunnar Solskjaer, has approved a move for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
The Sun says Solskjaer has agreed with John Murtough and Darren Fletcher that Rice would be a good signing for the club. The Red Devils are bracing themselves to lose Nemanja Matic in this summer’s transfer window. And the West Ham midfielder would be the perfect replacement.

United may go after Rice, despite the club deeming Scott McTominay as an integral asset for the future.
And it’s said that Solskjaer, Murtough and Fletcher are all in agreement when it comes to the West Ham star, who has enjoyed a fine campaign at the London Stadium this term.
However, any deal for the England international won’t come cheap.
West Ham would like a fee in the region of £80million to part ways with the midfielder, who has helped the Hammers up to fifth in the Premier League.
That would make him the club’s joint second most-expensive signing of all time, the same amount as Harry Maguire and slightly less than the £89m they spent on Paul Pogba.
