Rice urged to ignore Man Utd interest and stay at West Ham

The England international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer after a breakthrough campaign at the London Stadium

West Ham academy coach Carlton Cole believes Declan Rice would be rolling the dice with his future progress if he sealed a move to Manchester United this summer.

Rice made his England debut last month after he switched his international allegiances from the Republic of Ireland, and his sparkling performances in the heart of the West Ham midfield have fuelled rumours of a summer switch to Old Trafford.

Speaking to Goal as he hosted a soccer training camp at The Campus, Quinta do Lago in the Algarve, former West Ham striker Cole believes 20-year-old Rice would be wise to stay with the Hammers until his development is complete.
