Man Utd take next step in star transfer pursuit amid Paul Pogba uncertainty

Manchester United have already discussed the finer details of a move for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, according to reports. The 22-year-old is said to have been earmarked as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba, who will be out of contract at the end of the season. The Frenchman has been in talks over a new deal for a number of months but is no closer to extending his stay at Old Trafford. Paris Saint-Germain have been credited with an interest in landing Pogba on a free transfer if he decides to seek a new challenge next summer. The 28-year-old's departure would leave United in need of a top-class alternative in order to maintain their Premier League title-winning ambitions. Rice, who has reportedly turned down several contract offers at West Ham, is believed to be a priority target for the Red Devils. He is currently tied down until 2024 but could be sold next summer if the Hammers are unable to agree an extension between now and the end of the campaign.
