Declan Rice should note very carefully events involving Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

The Hammers prize asset is being regularly linked with an Old Trafford move at a time when the club is in troubled times with Ronaldo reportedly deeply unhappy.

It all poses the question: Why on earth would our man want to move into such troubled waters at a time when the Hammers look as strong, indeed stronger, than the Reds.

Ronaldo has been in touch with his agent Jorge Mendes and it is thought the pair have had serious conversations about United’s problems.

It’s claimed the former Real and Juventus superstar is  well unhappy with the team’s form despite his own contribution of 14 goals in 21 appearances.

Ronaldo is understood to be frustrated with the team’s recent performances, while becoming  disillusioned with Rangnick’s style of play.

United  sit 22 points behind leaders Manchester City, having lost six games in the first half of the campaign and replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with interim boss Ralf Rangnick.

And they are currently they currently sit two places and three points  behind us with a game in hand.

All of this at a time when Rangnick is believed to have become deeply concerned at the level of his Manchester United players.

The German has also realised in recent weeks that he faces a much more difficult task than he first thought to get the Red Devils firing again.

Declan is regularly linked with a club very much on a downward spiral with the big question being why on earth he would want to join them.

Right now he is far better off where he is – WITH US – with CandH learning another huge contract will be put in front of him this summer.
