Declan Rice is almost certain to leave and West Ham seem to have 'given up' on finishing in the top four this season.
That's the damning verdict of ex-Aston Villa and England star Gabby Agbonlahor.
Man United have a long-held interest in Hammers skipper Rice, who has made his name as regular for his country in recent years.
And Agbonlahor - now working as a TalkSPORT pundit - reckons the lure of Champions League football is going to be too much for Rice to turn down after West Ham failed to bring in reinforcements this winter.
He said: “Spurs aren’t the finished article, Arsenal have lost players, they’re looking a bit shaky. Manchester United have let players go and looking a bit shaky as well.
“It was the perfect time for West Ham to finally push that little bit more with a few more players. A defender, a midfielder and striker to go and get top four.
“As much as people might think players are loyal and love it here. Declan Rice, like I said a few months ago, will see his England teammates play in the Champions League and might be playing Champions League finals this season.
“How long is that going to go on where he’s going to be happy with the Europa League.
“I think Declan Rice will be looking to go in the summer.”
