Rose has been linked with a move away from Tottenham in the off-season as United and Premier League champion Chelsea has its sights on the England international full-back.

The 27-year-old – recovering from a knee injury and is not expected to return before the end of the month – is contracted until 2021.

However, former Leeds United youngster Rose wants a pay rise and trophies as the Yorkshire-born defender revealed he is looking to return to the North of England in the future.

"Being injured has harmed me on and off the field in a lot of ways," Rose told The Sun. "When you're injured you get a lot of time to think and I've had a lot of 'what if?' moments. It's been hard to deal with.

"One thing is for sure — I know my worth and I will make sure I get what I am worth. I am not playing as well as I have done not to get paid what I think I am worth. In any walk of life, if you think you are worth a certain amount, why settle for less? I am not that person.

"If I get to levels I reached last season — and this goes out to everybody — I will make sure I get what I am worth. I don't know how much longer I might have at this level. I'm not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it — medals, trophies and salary.

"Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.

"As with everyone else in my team, in my opinion, I am worth more than I am getting. I am not speaking on behalf of other players, but that is my view."

Rose said: "I am opinionated and I might not have long left in football. One thing is for sure, for the rest of this career, I will play this game how I want to play it and, while I am not going to disrespect anyone, I am going to voice my opinions.

"At my age, and having missed six months with injury, I have been thinking about this quite a lot.

"I am reaching my peak and have probably only got one big contract left in me. Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don't want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal. Sorry, that's not what I am about. I wouldn't be happy with that. I want to win something.

"I will say this too — I will play up north. I don't know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere. I moved away from home [from Leeds to Spurs] at 16.

"Yes I've got team-mates who have moved away from families in South Korea and Argentina, but I have been away for over ten years now and I don't get to see my mum that often. I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.

"My short-term focus is to get back to playing like last year and if I do that the long-term will take care of itself.

"I'm not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I'd have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club."
