The Hammers star is considered as the missing piece in the puzzle for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, with the England international seen as the perfect partner for Paul Pogba in midfield.
The Red Devils held a genuine interest in the 22-year-old over the summer, but after shelling out fees on Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo, the club were unable to meet the London side's £100 million valuation.
With talks stalling over a new contract for the defensive midfielder at the London Stadium, Rice may seek a new challenge. The Premier League star currently earns £3,000 per week, a figure that will rise dramatically should he secure a move to Old Trafford.
It also remains to seen whether Pogba will remain at United, as agent Mino Raiola has that the France playmarker could move back to Juventus.
