West Ham boss Moyes rejects Keane criticism of Rice

West Ham boss David Moyes has rejected criticism from Roy Keane for Declan Rice.

Former Manchester United midfielder Keane said Rice needs "to do more" and said he sometimes appeared to be "going through the motions" at West Ham.

Responding to Keane's midweek comments, Moyes said: "Declan has played really well for us - 40 England caps at his age.

"No doubt he is going to be an England captain in the future. He is going to be a top player. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Declan is a really good player.

"He's not the finished article just now. He will improve. He is proving that to be the case at the moment."
