Man Utd could beat Arsenal to midfielder signing

Manchester United could reportedly beat Arsenal in the race to sign West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice this summer.

The England international has spent his entire playing career with the Hammers but is expected to move on in the next transfer window.

Arsenal are deemed to be leading the pursuit of the 24-year-old but reports claim that United could beat them in the transfer race.

The Gunners are ready to offer around £90 million for Rice in a structured deal but United are being fancied to beat them with a higher bid.

The Red Devils could have a huge summer budget with Champions League football as well as the takeover from new owners.

Rice has developed into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and he is prepared to compete for silverware in coming seasons.

Both Arsenal and United are lucrative destinations for him but United are better equipped financially and could beat Arsenal in the race.
