After a tough club season that saw his Arsenal team finish second in the Premier League, Rice is hoping to go one better with the likes of Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo.

Rice stated of United youngster Mainoo: “We saw what Kobbie could do and what he's done at Man United. He fully deserves his place in the squad”

He then added on Crystal Palace starlet Adam Wharton: “Adam (Wharton) has been outstanding. In training he's impressed a lot of players, he's so composed on the ball.

“He wants to learn. What a moment for him and his family. I know he's one who won't take it for granted. He's ready for the big stage. The future's looking bright for England in midfield.”
