West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice is 'not paying too much attention' to reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.

West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice has insisted that he is 'not paying too much attention' to reports linking him with a move to Manchester United at the end of the season.

Rice has been in impressive form for West Ham this term and appeared twice for England during the recent international break, having switched his international allegiance from the Republic of Ireland.

United have reportedly launched a £35m offer for the 20-year-old ahead of this summer's transfer window, but Rice has said that he is "just focused on playing" for the Hammers.

Rice told BT Sport: "I'm happy. I'm playing week in, week out. I have a special connection with the fans. It's unbelievable [the London Stadium]. I love every minute of being at West Ham.

"Being compared to players, being linked to other teams, I don't really take any of it in, to be honest. If you think about it too much you get caught up in it. I'm only 20, you've got your whole career ahead of you. I'm just focused on playing for West Ham and playing with a smile on my face and enjoying it."

Manchester City have also been credited with an interest in the former Chelsea youngster.
