Shaka Hislop has claimed that Luke Shaw will leave Manchester United during the January transfer window to join Newcastle with Danny Rose coming in as his replacement.
Hislop said: “I think Shaw is likely to leave. Jose Mourinho, as much as he’s started him a bit of late, I don’t think he’s ever been a fan. Newcastle would have him, gladly, and probably that fresh start is exactly what Luke Shaw needs.
“Danny Rose, he had a few things to say earlier in the season when he was injured, after Kyle Walker left, criticising Tottenham’s transfer policy.
“I thought the writing was on the wall for Danny Rose and he would be a welcome addition going to Manchester United. The thing with this transfer though is that I feel that with Ashley Young has been very good on the left-hand side of defence.
“Rose, five years younger than Ashley Young, so it makes some sense in that regard. Saying that, as of where we are right now, I don’t think Danny Rose is an upgrade on Ashley Young.”
Shaw has struggled to earn regular game time at United this season and Jose Mourinho appears to be frustrated with him.
He only earned his first Premier League start of the season this week as United defeated Bournemouth 1-0.
Shaw will be aware that the best thing to do at this stage will be to leave United if he wants to revive his career. Meanwhile Rose, who is said to be unsettled at Tottenham, has been strongly linked with a move to the Red Devils.
