Rio Ferdinand claims Arsenal star ‘would have joined Manchester United for the same wages’

Rio Ferdinand believes Declan Rice would have rejected Arsenal if Manchester United had offered the same salary.

Rice delivered another impressive performance at the heart of Arsenal’s midfield to help eliminate Real Madrid from the Champions League this week.

The 26-year-old has established himself as one of Arsenal’s key figures under Mikel Arteta, with Ferdinand claiming that the England international should now be considered among the world’s best midfielders.

Rice joined Arsenal in a £105 million deal from West Ham in 2023 but had also attracted strong interest from both United and Chelsea.

And Ferdinand feels that Rice would have opted to join United two years ago if his former club matched Arsenal’s offer.

Speaking about Rice’s performance against Madrid, Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel: ‘The first tie killed it but they [Arsenal] were magnificent, I thought, over two legs.

‘Declan Rice, I think, you know when you look at players and go where was the moment he stood up and said, ‘guys, the top table, I’m at it’. I think this tie says that.

‘Doing against a team of that magnitude, that type of team, that champion.

‘And we [Manchester United] didn’t go and sign him.

‘I think, and I will stand by this, if Man United had come to the table with a chequebook and said, ‘we’ll match what Arsenal pay’, I think Declan Rice would have chose Man United.’

Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League match against Ipswich Town on Sunday, Arteta believes Rice is now in a ‘different dimension’ following his two performances against Madrid.

‘He’s learning more and more,’ Arteta said.

‘I think performances like he had in this side against Real Madrid actually just puts the player in a different dimension and that’s why we brought him here. That’s why we demand him as well to take more steps and to be more decisive in games because he can do it.

‘We’ve been talking about it for the last few weeks and to be at this stage is not easy. He’s done it two times in a row.

‘Now he’s maintaining that level of consistency, belief and undoubtedly his role will be bigger and bigger.’

Man Utd vs Wolves: Latest team news, predicted lineup and injuries

Ruben Amorim is expected to make several changes to his Manchester United side when they host Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.

United set to crash out of the Europa League but staged a remarkable comeback in extra-time to knock out Lyon and reach the semi-finals.

Currently languishing in 14th place in the league, any hopes of a return to European next season rests solely on winning the Europa League.

As such, Amorim hinted post-match that he will look to rotate his side to keep them fresh, potentially starting with Sunday’s game against Wolves at Old Trafford.

Diogo Dalot has played every minute of action for United since missing a 3-1 win over Southampton in mid-January, but Amorim hinted that the defender could be given a well-earned break on Sunday.

‘I have to see. Players like [Diogo] Dalot are always ready, but today he is really tired,’ he said.

‘The guys who are at risk of injury, we will try to save them.’

There was concern for Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui after both left Old Trafford at half-time on Thursday, but Amorim confirmed that the duo will both be available for the weekend’s clash.

‘He (Victor) is available, he has personal issues like Nous [Mazraoui], so we had to let him go,’ he said.

‘But everything is okay now and I know football is important but there are things that are more important. They will be ready to face Wolves in the next game.’

Elsewhere, Matthijs de Ligt, Amad Diallo and Jonny Evans were all seen in training prior to United’s win over Lyon, but Amorim provided no suggestion that any of the trio would be fit for Sunday’s game.

Instead, he suggested that he may well roll the dice with several young players, including Harry Amass and Chido Obi.

‘I think it is not the best moment or the best season to put some kids to play, because, again, they need a strong base to really show what they can do,’ he said.

‘But in this moment we need to do it and sometimes you have surprises. Ayden [Heaven] just played and I can be honest, we did it because we had injuries in that moment.

‘But today, I think Ayden is my player so when he is ready and facing the competition in the team, he is ready to play. So you don’t know.

‘Amass did really well today. Chido, [Obi] when he played, he played quite well. It is a difficult moment, it is not the right moment for the kids to play, but if we have to do it then we will do it.’

Predicted Man Utd XI to face Wolves

Onana; Yoro, Lindelof, Shaw; Mazraoui, Eriksen, Ugarte, Amass; Fernandes, Garnarcho; Obi.
