Danny Rose could join Manchester United in January as ‘Tottenham would accept bid of £45million’
Mauricio Pochettino sold Kyle Walker for £50m and would be willing to let left-back leave for similar price
TOTTENHAM would be willing to sell Danny Rose to Manchester United in January if they receive a bid of £45million, according to reports.
Spurs insist they do NOT need to sell any of their star players.
But England ace Rose has clashed with boss Mauricio Pochettino on several occasions this season as he battles Ben Davies for a starting place at left-back.
Converted winger Ashley Young has impressed there for United this season, but Jose Mourinho will be keen to bring in a proper left full-back.
And the Daily Star report that for £45m, he could land Rose in January.
Luke Shaw is the only established left-back in the United ranks, but doesn't get a look-in under the self-proclaimed Special One.

But United may be put off by the fact he is ineligible to play to play in the Champions League, having played against Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Rose, 27, was forced to apologise to Pochettino after criticising the club's transfer policy.
And later hit out at the Spurs boss for leaving him out of the side for the recent derby defeat to Arsenal.
