Declan Rice a statement signing from Man United

Declan Rice would be a “statement” signing for Manchester United, according to Teddy Sheringham, who claims that the Arsenal midfielder is the type of signing that Ruben Amorim needs to make.

Amorim has been in Manchester for the past few weeks now, and the former Sporting Lisbon boss has had time to figure out what he needs to improve on in the coming transfer windows and which players are no longer needed at the club.

There has been some massive players already linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of the January window, but amid all that speculation and rumours, former Red Devil Sheringham has opened up and claimed that Declan Rice would have been a great statement signing.

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

“He’s a proper player that leads by example. That’s the type of player that 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.”
