Manchester City signing record Declan Rice, another member of the England team, has joined Jack Grealish in praising Manchester United’s longtime residence.
Declan Rice, a midfielder for England, echoed Jack Grealish’s remarks on Sunday when he talked about how “inspiring” Old Trafford is.
Rice, who led West Ham in their 1-0 loss to the Red Devils on Sunday, has caught the attention of several clubs, including Manchester United. Erik ten Hag’s supporters may find solace in the 23-year-remarks old’s about Old Trafford if he does decide to leave east London.

The English player Grealish had previously been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but in 2021 he decided to join the club’s rivals Manchester City in a transfer that set a club record. However, things might have been different now after the former Aston Villa star made some eye-opening remarks following a goal versus United on the road.
Rice told Sky Sports on Sunday, “It’s inspiring for sure – it’s Old Trafford. You think of the history, the important matches that have taken place here, the top players that have played here.
“As a player, you want to come here and make a statement and establish your authority – first to gain a win, and second to play well for yourself.”
Unfortunately, Rice and his West Ham teammates were unable to gain anything from the game after David de Gea expertly stopped the midfielder’s late long-range attempt.
Grealish, who was then playing for Aston Villa, scored in a 2-2 draw in 2019, but the goalie was powerless to stop him. Additionally, some fans found Grealish’s remarks after that game to be quite encouraging.

Grealish said of his effort in December 2019 to Sky Sports, “That was my favorite goal ever.” I’ve always wanted to play at Old Trafford and score there,”
I’ve previously participated there in a reserve cup final, but it’s different when it’s like that. Obviously, that is my preferred Premier League location.
“If you actually watch the goal, I actually don’t realize I have that much curve on the ball. One of them, I could not have struck it any better since I knew as soon as I fired that it would land in the top corner.
Grealish only participated in one more game at Old Trafford while wearing the colors of Villa, assisting Bertrand Traore in an eventual 2-1 loss by setting up the goal.
He didn’t play as a substitute as his new team defeated United on the road last season, but under Pep Guardiola he has played in both of his team’s home derby victories, the 4-1 win from the previous year and the 6-3 win this one.
