Manchester United reportedly face a fight to sign Declan Rice this summer with the England midfielder waiting to find out the level of interest from boyhood club Chelsea.
United are ready to step up interest in Rice, 23, with the need to sign a midfield general becoming a top priority.
West Ham have slapped a £100 million valuation on Rice and the England international is likely to be in high demand.
According to Daily Mail, Rice would ideally love to return to Chelsea having been released by the club at 14.
