Tottenham tell Manchester United they need to pay £40m plus this player to get Danny Rose next summer

Manchester United quest to land Danny Rose next summer has been made perhaps simpler as Tottenham have informed them about what they need to do to get their man.

Jose Mourinho remains an admirer of Rose and the Portuguese manager is reportedly keen on making him a summer addition ahead next season as he has become fed up with his current left-back options.

Mourinho has been openly critical of Luke Shaw this season and their relationship is said to have reached rock bottom after the defender squared up with the former Chelsea manager. Shaw had reportedly gone to Mourinho in search of clarification about his future before signing a new deal, the manager’s response is said to have convinced Shaw that he has no future at Old Trafford, he may have a way out.

According to Sun Sport, Tottenham have told Manchester United that they can get Danny Rose if they offered them Luke Shaw plus £40m. The fee won’t be too much for the Red Devils, however, some of the club’s staff have reservations over Rose’s fitness as the England left-back have been sidelined repeatedly this season.

Santos vs Estudiantes LP Match Preview, Football Prediction and Betting Tips

This Copa Libertadores game brings two of the biggest teams in Brazil and Argentina together with the Argentinians making a tricky trip down to Brazil after falling to a 1-0 loss at home to their host.

A win for Santos would help them put one foot in the next round. They lost their first game of the competition to Real Garcilaso, however, they have recovered well to record wins against Estudiantes and Nacional to move to the top of group 6.

Santos fell to a defeat at Bahia in their last league games, however, they won their last home game 2-0 against Ceara and that should keep their confidence high ahead of this match. They also tend to be strong in this competition with 5 wins from their last 6 home games.

Estudiantes come into this game very low on confidence as they have been struggling both locally and in the continent. They lost their last game against Belgrano, although they made whole scale changes, it seems not to matter who play these days, they have just found it incredibly had to get the results.

They have lost 3 of their last 4 games, scoring just once in the process. They are currently second on the table with four points, yet it seems as though they would still be eliminated from the group stage just like last season.
