In addition to a move for Rice, Sheringham has also downplayed a move for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.
The three-time Premier League champion added: “I don't think it's imperative for United to move Viktor Gyokeres at the moment when you have Rasmus Hojlund.

“Another really good midfielder would be fantastic, so I think there are other players and other areas to strengthen that are more important for him than buying another center forward. Hojlund is proving enough.”
Gyokeres signed for Sporting in 2023 for amorimscoring 66 goals in 68 appearances under his former boss.
Hojlund, for his part, has scored seven goals so far this season, five of them since Amorim's arrival.
