What the papers say: Football rumours from the media

With Philippe Coutinho’s Liverpool exit looking ever more likely, the Reds are said to be interested in signing Monaco’s Thomas Lemar as his replacement.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign Tottenham’s Danny Rose but is facing resistance from the board, according to the Daily Mail.

Mourinho is said to see the 27-year-old as a good fit for the team, though the executives are reportedly still putting their confidence in Luke Shaw, who has fallen out of favour with Mourinho after a bad run of form and injury issues.
