Manchester United have announced the renewal of left-back Luke Shaw until June 30, 2027. The 27-year-old has been going through his down moments at the club, but has regained his space and has been an important player, especially under Erik ten Hag. His contract will expire in 2024, and so there have been talks about renewing his player bond.
Luke Shaw was signed from Southampton in 2014, expensive by the standards of the time, around £30m. He has lived through several seasons of ups and downs at the club, to the point where he could have been thrown away at one point. The competitors, who ended up staying all the way, came up. This season, for example, Tyrell Malacia arrived, who came from Feyenoord and was trusted by the new coach, Eric ten Hag.
However, Luke Shaw proved his worth with impressive performances, both as a left-back and as a defender, which came as a surprise. There were six games he played as a defender when the team needed them, in an injury crisis. As a winger, he was an important player, with 36 appearances (30 of which were starts), with a goal and six assists, an impressive record.
The player has 249 appearances for Manchester United, which makes him an experienced player in the team, with a large number of appearances. Shaw’s recovery meant that the player also regained his space in the England team. He also became important in Gareth Southgate’s team. He was even in the 2022 World Cup, where he was a starter. He was a constant player for the team.
Thus, his renewal is great news for Manchester United. Xu always showed talent, but there were questions in several aspects, from his physical form to his technical form. He managed to prove that he is worthy not only of the club, but also of the England team. He was really important and has everything to be a historic player for the club, not least because he is so experienced, but old enough to play for many years at a high level.
“Nine years ago I signed for this fantastic club and I am delighted to continue my time at the club. I have grown tremendously since coming to Manchester all those years ago, both as a person and as a player. I know what it takes to succeed at a club like this,” Shaw told the club following the renewal announcement. “We are at the beginning of our journey under the leadership of the coach and his coaching staff. There is a great opportunity to create something special here and I will do everything to be a part of it.”
“It’s been a great season so far. He’s made great progress, so I think it’s really good news for Manchester United that he’s still playing for Manchester United. I think that says it all, he’s the best left-back in the UK. Manager Eric ten Hag said: “You see he’s in the England team too, he’s doing well there too.”
“So we are very happy that he has renewed his contract and that he will stay with us for a longer period and that he will continue with us in this project and on this journey. We have high ambitions and we want Luke Shaw to achieve those ambitions.”
“Luke is a hugely important player in the team and has grown into one of the best defenders in the world. He has been with the club for nearly a decade and understands the expectations of success and the hard work, commitment and high standards required to achieve his goals,” said John Murtough, Manchester United’s director of football. That.” “He has added leadership to his other outstanding skills and we are all looking forward to seeing him in a Manchester United shirt for years to come.”
Manchester United returns to the field on Wednesday, April 5, against Brentford, at 4pm (Brasilia time). Check out more on the TV schedule.
