West Ham United midfield enforcer Declan Rice has gone viral on social media after he was filmed giving his shirt away to a young supporter after Sunday night's 1-0 win over Manchester United.
Back in the squad after missing the Hammers' 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last Wednesday night through illness, the England midfielder produced a brilliant performance, helping the Londoners ease their relegation fears. Said Benrahma, via the aid of a howler from David de Gea, scored the only goal of the game to ensure the Hammers scooped all three points.

Rice then comforted the youngster and gave him a hug, adding: "Come here. Good lad."
The youngster then plucked up courage to ask Rice if he could have his shirt, to which the Hammers ace duly obliged, even though he had already promised to give it to United ace and England teammate Marcus
