Manchester United are reportedly prepared to 'break the bank' to bring West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice to Old Trafford for the 2019-2020 campaign.

Rice has been in impressive form for West Ham this term and appeared twice for England during the March international break, having switched his international allegiance from the Republic of Ireland.

Last month, it was reported that United had launched a £35m offer for the 20-year-old, who only recently signed a new long-term contract with the Hammers.

Rice has since insisted that he is 'not paying too much attention' to the speculation surrounding his future.

However, according to The Independent, United are preparing a big-money offer for a player who has scored twice in 33 appearances for West Ham this season.

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will reportedly have in excess of £200m to spend on new signings in this summer's transfer window.
