Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The Man Utd fans in the Transfer Tavern are desperate for Jose Mourinho to bring in a few new faces in January. The Red Devils have stumbled somewhat over the last few weeks, having fallen behind Man City in the Premier League, with Chelsea hot on their heels.
Jose Mourinho’s men started the campaign well, but it’s clear that their local rivals are a few steps ahead of them at the moment, and that’s something that the Red Devils need to work on.
The January transfer window is the perfect time to do just that. They’ve not been afraid to spend big in recent years, with big names like Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku coming to Old Trafford, and a few more players could help bridge the gap between them and Man City.
That could be what they’re looking to do, with the Sun reporting that Danny Rose is a potential target for Jose Mourinho this month. A proven Premier League talent, on first glance, a move for Rose makes sense.
However, it doesn’t appear to be a very popular move amongst the Old Trafford faithful, with fans taking to social media to respond to the news. Indeed, reaction to the news has been overwhelmingly negative, with fans slamming the idea of the deal.
Citing reasons like the financial cost, alongside the re-emergence of Luke Shaw, Rose isn’t a player that is wanted by the Man Utd fans, it seems.
Take a look at a selection of responses below…
Would we really need Danny Rose when Luke Shaw is in this kind of form and starting most games now?
I don’t think we do.. on his day Shaw is the best LB in the league and I think alot would agree #MUFC

We’d have to pay around 40mill for Danny Rose and that just seems crazy to me when we have Luke Shaw playing so well and Young as back up #MUFC

Decent player but I might be reluctant to spunk half my budget on a left back that's no better than what's available already at the club https://t.co/XSRcqazmUt

How good has @LukeShaw23 been in the last few games? We don't need Danny Rose. Luke is the future for United. With @tfosumensah in the other full back role once @anto_v25 packs up.

At £50m #MUFC better go for better options than Danny Rose.

Why are @ManUtd trying sign Danny Rose?? Luke Shaw playing great ball, Marcos rojo is a man who puts his heart on the pitch and Valencia is an animal and @Lind starting to find his feet?

40m for Rose …if we are looking to spend big and replace Shaw spend it on a 'difference maker' such as Sandro because Rose ain't that #mufc
