Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has identified Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice as the ideal signing for Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim. Sheringham praised Rice as a "proper player" who leads by example and stated that acquiring the England international would be a significant move for the club.

“I said a couple of years ago, Manchester United should have got Declan Rice,” Sheringham told Genting Casino. “If they went out and bought Declan Rice off Arsenal, that’d make me laugh because that’d obviously make Arsenal weaker and make United even stronger.”

Sheringham emphasized Rice’s leadership qualities, adding, “He’s a proper player who leads by example. That’s the type of player you need in your football club. When you’re making a statement about a new manager coming in and buying new players, that is the type of player you buy. Declan Rice all day.”

Declan Rice joined Arsenal in 2023 from Premier League side West Ham United. His performances and leadership at Arsenal have continued to underline his reputation as one of England’s top midfielders.
