Man United in for Danny Rose?

Man United planning winter raid for Tottenham defender

17 November 2017 - 11:57

Manchester United are reportedly planning an approach for Tottenham Hotspur's Danny Rose during the January transfer window.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • Earlier in the summer, the England international questioned Spurs' transfer policy and hinted that he could pursue a move to a bigger club in search of trophies.

    The former Leeds United man has since rejoined his Spurs teammates after recovering from a knee injury and has made three competitive appearances.

    According to The Sun, the 27-year-old's recent comeback has urged Mourinho to contemplate a winter attempt to lure him to Old Trafford.

    The left-back spot has been a problematic position for United this campaign with the likes of Ashley Young, Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian getting turns in the top-flight, although the former is now the first-choice.

    Spurs chairman Daniel Levy blocked Eric Dier's proposed move to Old Trafford last summer, and he is likely to take a similar stance on Rose, who would be keen on a switch.

    Manchester United are already eight points behind table-toppers Manchester City and they face a must-win game versus Newcastle United on Saturday.
