Rice backed for west ham captaincy over man utd move as moyes seeks to avoid deal with former club

I think there may be some inaccuracies in your statement. Here's a breakdown:

• Rice is not being backed for the West Ham captaincy over a potential move to Manchester United. Declan Rice is already a key player for West Ham and has been a regular starter for the team.
• There is no indication that West Ham is seeking to avoid a deal with Manchester United over Declan Rice. In fact, Manchester United have been linked with a move for Rice for some time, and it's been reported that they are interested in signing him.
• David Moyes, the West Ham manager, has not publicly stated that he wants to avoid a deal with Manchester United over Rice. Moyes has spoken highly of Rice and has praised his performances for West Ham.

It's possible that you may have come across some speculation or rumors about Rice's future, but there is no concrete evidence to suggest that West Ham is seeking to avoid a deal with Manchester United over him.
