OFFICIAL: Luke Shaw extends at Man United

After spending almost 10 years at the Red Devils, experienced left-back Luke Shaw has signed a new contract with the Mancunian side. The England international is now under contract with the side until 2027.

He has started a total of 30 games this season (out of a possible of 36), and he's often referred to as one of the main men in the dressing room. The defender has made a total of 249 appearances for the club since he joined from Southampton in 2014.

When asked about his renewal, the defender proudly said: "Nine years ago, I signed for this amazing club, and I’m thrilled to be extending my stay. I’ve grown immensely since coming to Manchester all those years ago, both as a person and as a player; I know what is needed to succeed at a club like this".

As for the club themselves, United's Football Director said that "Luke is a massively important player to the squad and has grown into one of the best defenders in the world... He has added leadership to his other outstanding abilities, and we all look forward to seeing him in a Manchester United shirt for years to come.”

Shaw was part of the United side that won the League Cup in February to end a six-year trophy drought. The Red Devils are in the hunt for more silverware as they face Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals and Brighton in the last four of the FA Cup. But three games without a win in the Premier League has seen them drop outside the top four.
