West Ham: Declan Rice will be England captain one day, says manager David Moyes

Declan Rice will be the captain of England one day, says his West Ham manager David Moyes.

Moyes made the prediction in response to Roy Keane's criticism of the 24-year-old after West Ham's 3-1 FA Cup loss to Manchester United.

Keane said Hammers midfielder Rice "needs to do more" and is sometimes "running through the motions".

But Moyes backed his club's skipper and said: "No doubt he is going to be an England captain in the future."

Rice has 39 caps for England and helped them finish runners-up at Euro 2020, and was part of the squad that reached the quarter-finals at the World Cup in Qatar.
