West Ham manager David Moyes was in a playful mood when he was asked about Declan Rice’s future at the club and Manchester United’s reported interest in the midfielder.
"Maybe people don’t have enough to write about. That might be where that comes from, I don’t know. But look, I can’t do anything about what people write about Declan Rice," Moyes said on Saturday.

"I can’t stop that, except say to them that you will need humongous money to get close. That’s what you would need to do. They can write all they like, but he’s here for certainly a few years."
Moyes continued: "I said in the summer that I thought Declan Rice was £100 million. That was the sales, that was cheap, that was your chance to get Declan Rice cheap."
Indeed, the Scottish coach essentially suggested that Rice could have been signed for around £100m last summer but would now cost even more due to his performances for the Hammers this season. But how close to reality is Moyes’ evaluation of the player?
What would Rice cost in the summer?
West Ham would be more willing to do business in the summer.
According to Manchester Evening News, the London side will demand a fee of £100m from any suitors for the club's star midfielder.
