Declan Rice has been pushed by Ally McCoist to select Arsenal over Manchester United this summer.
McCoist offered his perspective on what is expected to be one of the summer’s greatest transfer sagas on TalkSPORT (5/6 8:53am).
Declan Rice will make an effort to ignore any thoughts about his potential future.
He is presently getting ready for what may be the most important match of his club career.
The Europa Conference League Final between West Ham and Fiorentina is on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old is most likely to move on this summer, and there is no better way to go out than by winning a European championship.
Rice has lately been linked with a number of teams, including Manchester United and Arsenal, but McCoist believes he should remain in London.
Mikel Arteta would undoubtedly be happy if The Emirates turned out to be his final stop.
Additionally, it gives him and West Ham a fantastic negotiation position.
The last thing The Gunners would want after missing out on Mykhaylo Mudryk in January is to become involved in another bidding battle with a competitor.
Rice is advised by McCoist to choose Arsenal over Man United.
When asked about the future of the 24-year-old, McCoist responded, “It’s a weird one. If I were Declan Rice and considering my alternatives for the weekend and the entire season, I’d probably choose Arsenal over Manchester United.
Despite having won the League Cup, Manchester United appeared to be four or five players behind Manchester City when I observed them over the weekend.
“I still believe Arsenal is far behind Manchester City, but I believe they have the ability to catch up to them more quickly.”
Fans of Arsenal will be hoping that Rice follows McCoist’s advice and rejects any bid from Manchester United.
Considering the ages of its finest players, Arteta’s team should be in a stronger position moving into the upcoming season.
With Granit Xhaka expected to leave the squad, Rice has found the ideal position.
Arsenal will hope they’re in the greatest position to persuade him to join their club as long as his asking price doesn’t go up too much.
