Adding further fuel to the fire is the latest report from the Daily Mail. With absolutely nothing in the way of quotes to back it up, they claim that it's their understanding that the left-back wants the move to happen.
They also point to the fact that the left side of defence is an area in which José Mourinho could do with strengthening. Luke Shaw has struggled with injuries since recovering from the broken leg he suffered last season and right-footed Matteo Darmian isn't convincing anyone that he's going to be a regular starter there.
