Manchester United are reportedly ready to return for Spurs ace Danny Rose.
According to The Mirror, Manchester United are planning a new January bid for Tottenham Hotspur left back Danny Rose, after he was left out of the North London derby.
Rose, 27, has developed into one of Europe’s top left backs under Mauricio Pochettino’s tutelage, but he missed almost nine months of 2017, having suffered a knee injury at Sunderland back in January.
The defender returned earlier this season, and having started against Crystal Palace before the international break – and then played for England against Germany – Rose appeared to be getting back to full fitness.
However, Rose was surprisingly left out of Tottenham’s squad to face Arsenal on Saturday, and his exclusion has sparked new rumours about his future, with The Mirror claiming that Manchester United are planning a new bid.
Doncaster-born Rose suggested to The Sun back in August that he fancied a move back to the north, and United – who have used a host of players at left back this season – are allegedly planning a move.
It’s claimed that Jose Mourinho’s men are planning to offer £40million, but left back Luke Shaw could be offered up in part-exchange as Spurs fans are once again left questioning Rose’s future in North London.
Shaw, 22, worked and flourished under Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton, emerging as one of English football’s top young talents before his 2014 move to Old Trafford, but he has struggled to make an impression with the Red Devils.
A reunion with Pochettino could help Shaw recapture his best form, and United may seize the opportunity to land Rose and offload Shaw, though Spurs will hold all the cards given the confusion over Rose’s situation.
