West Ham Inform Manchester City & United of Stance of Declan Rice as Duo Make Enquiries

West Ham have informed both Manchester clubs they have no intention of selling Declan Rice this summer, after both sides made enquiries about the England midfielder.

Rice experienced a breakthrough season for Manuel Pellegrini's side in 2018/19, racking up 38 appearances and winning his first England caps after some fine displays for the Hammers.

Such has been the 20-year-old's form that both Manchester City and Manchester United contacted West Ham over his availability this window. However, both clubs have been knocked back in their approaches, according to Sky Sports, with the west London side informing the Premier League duo that they will not entertain bids for their starlet.
