Manchester United are ready to offer a new contract to Luke Shaw following his return to form, according to a report.
Shaw joined United from Southampton in 2014 as the most expensive teenager in world football. Now 26, it has been a bumpy ride. But he has ascertained himself as one of the best left-backs in the league. What’s more, he became a crucial starter for England at Euro 2020, even scoring in the final.
It followed a season in which Shaw got back to his best. His United career to that point had been disrupted by injuries, an infamously fractious relationship with ex-manager Jose Mourinho and conflicting form. It prompted United to sign Alex Telles to compete for his position last October.
But as a result of his resurgence, he is now set to be awarded a new contract, according to the Daily Mail.
Shaw’s current contract will expire in 2023, although his club has the option to extend it by a year. United are now willing to reward him with better terms as they continue planning for a title challenge.
