West Ham United boss David Moyes hopes Declan Rice is best known for what he does on the football pitch

Rice has been part of a new social media movement, where people take on the "Sing Your Dialect" trend to belt out their favorite songs.

Rice posted a video singing Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby", with the lyrics change of "Rice Rice Baby."

"Was he? I don't do social media at all," Moyes said when asked about the matter by reporters.

"That's quite a good tune. Catchy. Rice, Rice, baby.

"For me, the most important thing is that Declan is a football player who prepares himself and dedicates himself to his job. I'm guessing he's not planning to be a karaoke singer, if that's what it is, in the future.

"But overall, he's really good, a great lad to have around. I know the point you're putting over on that, so as long as he keeps it under control, I'm happy.

"I really want Declan Rice to be talked about for his football. That's what I want him to be talked about. I've been asked a couple of questions about social media and what's going on with that – the truth is I'm not really that interested.

"I'm only interested in how he performs for us, how he trains, how he plays for England, all those things are far more important to me."
