Manchester United remain keen to sign Danny Rose despite his lack of playing time, according to the Guardian journalist Jamie Jackson.
Our no.3 has suffered from a number of minor injury setbacks since he returned to action in November, but Jose Mourinho is said to be still set on making a bid for the player in the summer.
On Twitter, supporters have been debating the possibility of selling the 27-year-old to a rival:
Happily take 40 odd for Danny and bring in 2 fullbacks with that money + from other sales. Masuaku at west ham been linked, really like him.

If anyone goes the other way it will be Luke Shaw

Get shot. If we can get £50m or Martial then happy days.

Verdict:
Danny has very much become Pochettino’s second choice left back behind Ben Davies this campaign, and it would depend on the money on offer from United.
The Sun have suggested a swap with Luke Shaw could still be on the cards. Poch worked with the 22-year old for 18 months at Southampton and may be keen to link up with the full-back once again.
In the report, Sun journalist Duncan Wright asserts that we may accept £40m plus Shaw to sell Rose, but we won’t accept anything less to let the England international leave.
