Danny Rose: Has Tottenham star said he wants to leave? What about Man Utd? Is money key?

Has Danny Rose said he wants to leave Tottenham?

No, he has not. Danny Rose may have ripped into Tottenham but the England international insists he does not want to leave.

However, he DID say that he would have no problem discussing a bid from one of the Premier League’s elite.

“I’m not saying I want out,” he told The Sun. 

“But if something came to me that was concrete, I’d have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club.”

What about Manchester United?

Talk has been rife in recent days that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho would love to sign the 27-year-old.

And Rose has added fuel to the fire by admitting he would love to play up north.

“I will say this too — I will play up north. I don’t know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere,” he said.

“I moved away from home (from Leeds to Spurs) at 16.

“Yes I’ve got team-mates who have moved away from families in South Korea and Argentina, but I have been away for over ten years now and I don’t get to see my mum that often.

“I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.”

The interview broke hours after the London Evening Standard claimed Rose had been left flattered by the Red Devils’ interest.

Is money key?

Rose definitely did not hold back when saying he feels he - and more of his Tottenham team-mates - deserve a higher wage.

“When you’re injured you get a lot of time to think and I’ve had a lot of ‘what if?’ moments. It’s been hard to deal with.

“One thing is for sure — I know my worth and I will make sure I get what I am worth.

“I am not playing as well as I have done not to get paid what I think I am worth.

“In any walk of life, if you think you are worth a certain amount, why settle for less? I am not that person.

“If I get to levels I reached last season — and this goes out to everybody — I will make sure I get what I am worth. I don’t know how much longer I might have at this level. I’m not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it — medals, trophies and salary.

“Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.

“As with everyone else in my team, in my opinion, I am worth more than I am getting.

“I am not speaking on behalf of other players, but that is my view.”
