The Premier League's 12 best partnerships in 2016/17? Featuring duos from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool

Manchester rivals United and City are reportedly lining up a double swoop for Tottenham full-backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose.

The Red Devils and Citizens are both in need of defensive reinforcements and are hoping around £60m will be enough to bring the Spurs pair to the north of England.

Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to fend off interest in his players as he looks to bring silverware to the north London club – and Walker and Rose are vital to that.

The England internationals are now among the best full-backs in the world and work well as a partnership for Tottenham, both defensively and offensively.
