Former Manchester United star and DC United manager, Wayne Rooney has tipped Declan Rice to be successful at the North London club.

Rooney also applauded Arsenal for making the move to sign Rice from West Ham this summer.

Rice is the Gunners’ third signing of the summer under manager Mikel Arteta after they signed Kai Havertz from Chelsea and Jurrien Timber from Ajax.

The English midfielder is the North London’s most expensive signing as he cost them a record-breaking fee of £105million.
