Veteran: United need to sign Rice at all costs, he can do everything on the pitch

Manchester United veteran Paul Parker believes in an interview that Manchester United must spend a lot of money to sign West Ham United star Rice. The club have given Lonnick the green light to make the England international one of their top targets this summer.

Rice' contract ends in the summer of 2024 and he has yet to renew his contract with West Ham and has therefore been linked to a number of Premier League clubs.

Paul Parker said: "If you want to spend a lot of money on midfielders, go buy Rice, who is the best midfielder in England. City signed Glalish for £100 million and if someone wants you to spend £160 million on Rice, you have to pay because Glalis is not worth £100 million at all, but they have now set a standard. ”

'Declan Rice is the closest player United can get and he's the one you might think he can Brian Robson, Roy Keane and Paul Ince because he wants to do everything on the pitch.

"He's the kind of player who wants to say 'please don't label me', don't label him as a defensive midfielder. Don't label him as attacking midfield because he wants to control everything on the pitch. ”
