Former Tottenham Hotspur star believes it could be mind games from Manchester United.
Former Spurs defender Graham Roberts has offered his take on Manchester United’s reported interest in England internationals Danny Rose and Kyle Walker.
The Sun report United, along with Manchester City, are both interested in the Tottenham pair, speculating that Jose Mourinho wants to offer £60 million for the pair.

Roberts believes the reports may not be genuine, and instead could be designed to unsettle Tottenham.
Spurs are currently above United in the table by three points, despite the Red Devils recent winning streak.
Both Walker and Rose signed new contract extensions taking them up until 2021, and leaving Spurs is not expected to be on their radar.
The duo have been terrific this season and a key part of Tottenham’s success, holding off competition for their places from Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies.
Despite the high quality of stand ins, it would be a big surprise if Spurs decided to cash in, as it would signal that they are open for business with regard to other key players like Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Dele Alli.
