Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to sign Chelsea target Declan Rice . He believes that the West Ham United star is the kind of player that's missing from the current squad at Old Trafford.
Rice has been on the radar for Chelsea and Manchester United in the last two transfer windows. However, the move has not materialized yet, and the Englishman is still at West Ham. Speaking on Vibe with FIVE , Ferdinand urged his former side to retake a look at Rice. He said:
"That's not to say he hasn't got the ability, the kid's got ability, he's improving every single season you've seen him. He's added bits to his game. Last year, he added goals, the ability to drive with the ball from midfield.
He's defensively getting more acute and more understanding of the game, an absolute sponge of the game, educating himself all the time, always asking questions, always wants to know X, Y and Z. That's the type of player, the type of character that Man United need in their squad.
Forget ability sometimes, there might be players with more ability in that position than him, more technical maybe than him, but what he lacks in that area, which won't be by a lot, anything he lacks in that area he more than makes up for it in the other critical areas that United need most."
The Red Devils are actively looking to strengthen their squad, especially after the departures of Juan Mata and Paul Pogba. Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong is a name that has been associated with the club in recent times, however a deal is yet to be finalized.
