Man United 'more likely' to sign PL duo than Declan Rice

Transfer insider Dean Jones believes Manchester United are “more likely” to sign Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans or Wolves’ Ruben Neves instead of Declan Rice from West Ham in the summer.

The Red Devils reportedly want to bring in at least one midfielder in the off-season as they look to close the gap to the top sides in the country.

Tielemans has spent the last three seasons at the King Power stadium, but it has recently been claimed that he has no intention of signing a new deal at the club. With his contract set to expire next year, it appears that he could be on the market at the end of the season.
