Manchester
United boss, Jose Mourinho, has handed a list of one player to the club’s
board.
The
Portuguese has told the club to beat Chelsea to signing of West Ham youngster,
Declan Rice.
The
19-year-old has become a first-team regular under Manuel Pellegrini, lining up
in a central midfield.
According to
the newspaper, Mourinho has been hugely impressed by Rice’s performances.
The
Portuguese wants more cover and competition in midfield.
United’s
summer signing Fred has been a disappointment, while Nemanja Matic is
struggling for form.
United would
face significant competition from Chelsea for his signature with the Blues keen
to re-sign a player they released at the age of 14.
The west
Londoners would be prepared to offer Rice a deal worth £40,000-a-week as
Maurizio Sarri looks to strengthen his engine room.
