The relationship between Danny Rose and a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans has somewhat soured since he publicly criticised the club.

Naturally, questions were raised about his future at the North London outfit, but he did not leave during the summer transfer window.

January could be a different story, however, after The Mirror reported that Manchester United are considering making a swoop for the left-back when the window reopens.

The report adds that the Red Devils may be willing to include Luke Shaw as part of a player-plus-cash deal.

Mauricio Pochettino is already well aware of Shaw’s ability having coached him at Southampton for a season.

The England international has struggled with injuries, though, and United manager Jose Mourinho publicly criticised the full-back’s fitness last season.

It is unclear whether Spurs would be interested in shaking hands on the deal, but at the age of 22, Shaw has the potential to fit into Pochettino’s young team.

Once the story emerged, fans gave their verdicts on social media.
