DANNY ROSE would be a success at Manchester United if he joined from Tottenham this summer.

Tottenham's Danny Rose opens up about injury struggles

That is the opinion of former Liverpool defender and pundit Steve Nicol, who doubts a deal will happen in this window.

Rose has been linked with a move to Manchester United, as manager Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the upcoming season.

However, the England international has struggled with injury problems and has not played a game for Tottenham since January after undergoing knee surgery.

Nicol cannot see Spurs letting their left-back leave, especially after seeing right-back Kyle Walker already go to Manchester City earlier this summer.

“If he was playing at Manchester United he would be a hit, yes,” Nicol said on ESPN FC.

“I think he’s a good player, a good defender, he seems to get better and better as the years go on going forward. 

“But as you said, he’s missed quite a bit, he’s still injured, he’s still not fit.

Tottenham won't want to let Danny Rose join Man Utd, says Steve Nicol

“He’s not going to be there at the start of the season and I just don’t see Tottenham letting him go. 

“They’ve already let Walker go for £50million, they’re not letting Rose go. 

“I’m sorry, this is a miss for United.”
