With their place in the top-four looking secure and a push for the title all but out of the question, it is no surprise that Manchester United‘s attentions are turning to the summer transfer window and, apparently, to Declan Rice.

The Athletic reported earlier this week that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co are eyeing up a move for the highly-rated West Ham midfielder and could look to make the transfer part of any deal that sees Jesse Lingard move to the London Stadium permanently.

But how does he stack up against the Red Devils’ current crop of midfield men? We’ve compared his stats from this season to his potential future competition – but only those who have played at least 500 minutes in the Premier League this season (sorry Donny van de Beek).
