Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reviews Bournemouth game
Manchester United could ruin Arsenal's summer transfer plans by hijacking Mikel Arteta's interest in Declan Rice. It's no secret that Erik ten Hag wants a midfielder and a goalscorer before his second season at Old Trafford, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

Arteta is said to view Rice as a crucial part of his plans for next season as the Gunners go again after late-season heartbreak in the title race.
Granit Xhaka's impending move to Bayer Leverkusen indicates that the Spanish coach is confident he will upgrade in the coming months.
United entering the frame to complete a deal could throw Arsenal's summer into turmoil as much as it would boost Ten Hag's ranks.
It would have to be a club record, surpassing the £89million splashed to bring Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford in 2016.
