Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw will “100%” sign a new deal with the club, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Red Devils are enjoying a terrific season, having already won the EFL Cup and being in with a possibility of winning the FA Cup and the Europa League. Nevertheless, a top-four finish in the Premier League looks to be a foregone conclusion following a year of great progress on the field.
Shaw has been a model of consistency at left-back this season, while several United players have shone, with Marcus Rashford being the standout. With 22 league appearances and an average of 1.7 tackles and 1.2 key passes per game, the 27-year-old has been an important player both offensively and defensively.
The Englishman is currently considered one of Europe’s greatest left-backs, therefore United must ensure his future before his current deal ends in 2019. An interesting new update strongly implies that this will be the case.
Erik ten Hag’s remarks on Shaw were posted on Twitter by Romano before he published his news on a new deal being signed:
Shaw is unquestionably a crucial starter for Ten Hag’s club and is at the peak of his game, so this is fantastic news for United. The 29-cap England international’s boss has described him as “a wonderful player and a great personality for the dressing room,” and at 27, a new long-term deal will expire when he may still be at his peak.
Having suffered a horrific broken leg early in his United career and not always able to consistently grow into a key player over the years, Shaw’s achievement is reassuring. Even though he has already achieved the pinnacle of his career, there is no reason he can’t go any farther, particularly if additional impact players are brought in during what should be a successful summer transfer window at Old Trafford.
Former Manchester United attacker Dion Dublin has urged his former side to sign Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane
Dublin believes Kane is the missing link United need to become Premier League, title contenders. Kane’s current contract with Tottenham is set to expire at the end of next season.
Kane, 29, has been r/u/m/o/r/e/d to be leaving Tottenham this summer. Man United is the team that is r/u/m/o/r/e/d to be a lot with this striker.
And Dublin believes the England captain will score at least 25 goals a season if he joins Man United. Dublin told the Mirror: “Honestly if you put Harry in any team in the Premier League, you could describe him as the ‘missing link’.”
“He would score 25 goals in any competition – not just at Manchester United.” “But his stature as a player, his position, his quality, surrounded by Marcus, Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen – I don’t understand how. that could be wrong. If they can sign Harry, I think they’ll b/o/m/b the goal to win the title.”
