Man Utd Transfer News: Danny Rose is a target for Jose Mourinho

That is the opinion of journalist Henry Winter.

Jose Mourinho has splashed out £160million on Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Matic this summer and is on the lookout for a fourth signing.

The United boss wants a winger with Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic the top target but he may also want a left-back with doubts over Luke Shaw.

Daley Blind played in that position during their 4-0 Premier League opener over West Ham on Sunday.

But Winter believes left-back Rose would be the perfect signing and is attainable after his interview criticising Tottenham's transfer policy and how much they pay their players.

"I still think they need a left-back. They could get Danny Rose in now, he would be absolutely perfect for them," Winter told The Times' The Game podcast.

"You look at that spine, [David] De Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. [Eric] Bailly is a terrific player and [Phil] Jones seems to be responding, that [against West Ham] was one of his better games.

"[Nemanja] Matic could easily be the footballer of the year in terms of the impact he's made and weakening Chelsea."
