West Ham could ask for one of four players from Manchester United if they table a bid for Declan Rice, according to ExWHUEmployee.

The Hammers insider claims that the London club could be open to Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay or Anthony Martial being included in a part-exchange offer:

“We also have a number of players that could be offered to us as part of the deal that we could be interested in including: Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, McTominay and Martial.”

It is believed that West Ham want £120m for Rice, without any players being included, but that could drop to £100m if it is some sort of swap deal.

Ex claims that Manchester United is a club that would interest Rice, especially if his close friend Mason Mount joins them from Chelsea.

Up until recently, it was believed that Arsenal and Bayern Munich were the two favourites for the midfielder’s signature, but it appears that could change depending on the circumstances.

Which United star would West Ham prefer to get in a swap deal for Rice?

Due to the fact that the Irons don’t have a lot of options in the centre of defence, bringing in someone like Maguire could make a lot of sense.

The Red Devils want to offload him and, if they still offer around £100m for Rice, it would probably be a good piece of business for the London club.

With Wan-Bissaka, it may be more difficult to lure him away from Old Trafford, as he has worked his way back into Erik ten Hag’s first team plans.

David Moyes is known to be a big admirer of McTominay’s and there would be the added benefit that the Scottish international could slot right into Rice’s position in the team. The least likely to be of interest is Martial, mainly due to his poor injury record.
