The England international has been one of United boss Jose Mourinho's top targets of late and according to English publication 'The Daily Star', his move has been given the go ahead, on one condition of course.
Spurs are demanding that the 'Red Devils' part with some £45m for the 27-year-old, who has seen his almost untouchable status at the club tarnish by his demands for more money, criticism of the club's transfer policy and the emergence of competition for his place in the form of Ben Davies.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is thought to be strict on only wanting players that are fully committed to the cause and as such he is considering allowing Rose to depart the club.
Rose has made just five appearances so far this season after recovering from a knee injury.
Chelsea have previously been linked with a move for the player, though he expressed an interest in moving back north during his now infamous summer interview, which makes United favourites.
The aforementioned source claims that Spurs are already wighing up moves for other left-backs, with United's Luke Shaw thought to be amongst the potential candidates for the role.
