Guest of podcast «The Good, The Bad & The Football », Paul Scholes admitted to having revised his judgment on the 27-year-old player. He admitted to having had reservations in the past, but insisted Rice has the ideal profile to solve Manchester United’s long-standing problems in midfield.
“If I had to choose, I would take Declan Rice,” he said. “I know I put him down a bit, but I think Manchester United need a profile like his. They need a real central midfielder. »
The 11-time Premier League player also dismissed the idea that United could no longer attract the best talent from the league, adding: “I heard Rio Ferdinand talking about the profile of a realistic manager for United the other day. But all coaches and players must be realistic targets for Man United. Who is not a realistic target for United? I don’t believe it: anything is possible for United. »
