We’re now well into the business end of the Premier League season and West Ham will be feeling rather good after holding Manchester United to a goalless draw.

While the game hardly set the world alight in an attacking sense, the Hammers will be happy with their performance defensively and it added another feather in the cap for young Declan Rice.

The 19-year-old has appeared 30 times across all competitions for West Ham this season and has emerged as the brightest part of another disappointing campaign.

David Moyes needs to work on his defensive ranks ahead of next season but Rice has given him something to build upon, with the teenager likely to be a key part of the side again next season.

Fans have certainly taken to the performances of the defensive ace, who earned his international debut for the Republic of Ireland in May, and took to social media to praise his display in the draw with Jose Mourinho’s side.
