Danny Rose has been linked with a move to Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. The Red Devils spent a fortune in the summer but are keen to add further depth to their squad. With Shaw yet to prove himself at United, and Blind not getting any younger with the day, United have majorly used Young and Darmian at the left back position as makeshift players. Rose would definitely walk straight into the United starting lineup if Mourinho can snap him up.
The 27-year old wingback has been regarded as one of top wing backs in the English Premier League over the last couple of years. The England international’s hot form has left a trail of suitors chasing him in the transfer market.
Rose’s rise to fame came in a north London derby back in April 2010 when he scored with an incredible strike from 30 yards out to settle the match for his team. Wenger described the 19-year old Leeds United graduate’s strike as a ‘goal in a million’. Although the left-back made a debut to remember for the rest of his life, his Tottenham career took a downturn and the left-back left on loan in search of more game time.
His loan spells at Sunderland and Bristol City did not last long and the English player was another promising star that was on the brink of a great career after being named the club’s Young player of the year after the 2012-13 season.
His career began to take an upward path from the 2013-14 and Rose has since gone on to establish himself as a mainstay in the Tottenham backline. Although miniature in size, his tremendous pace, ability to dribble and stout nature has made him a forceful opponent. His ability to make crunching tackles and play at a high tempo combined with his energy to go on the overlap for the full ninety minutes of a match has made him the ideal modern day fullback.
At 27, Rose has 11 career goals and 25 assists, a number pretty decent for a player who has to play his entire game running up and down like a battery on the left channel of the Tottenham team. He has also established himself as England’s first-choice left back.
Rose’s gameplay, coupled with his Premier League experience, would make him the perfect addition at Old Trafford and although it would mean the end of the road for Luke Shaw, Rose’s game is tailor-made for the Red Devils and United should consider a move for the 27-year old.
