Fans praise Declan Rice's social media authenticity after the West Ham star performed 'Rice Rice Baby...but manager David Moyes wants his midfielder to be celebrated for his performances on the pitch

Declan Rice's social media authenticity is winning praise from supporters, although West Ham manager, David Moyes, wants his midfielder to be celebrated for his performances on the pitch.

In an era where Premier League players hire PR firmsu200b to post mundane messages on their behalf, Rice went viral by performing 'Rice Rice Baby' to the tune of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby'.

Moyes was asked about Rice yesterday as West Ham prepare to play Vienna tonight knowing they can secure top spot in the Europa League's Group H. The Scot said he's happy, so long as social media doesn't distract the 22-year-old England international from the task at hand.
