Ruben Amorim is reportedly mulling over sanctioning an exit for 29-year-old Manchester United defender Luke Shaw in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Luke Shaw faces an uncertain future at Manchester United heading into the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim is considering sanctioning a departure for the injury-riddled English international, and his exit will free up £200,000-a-week wages from the books.
Luke Shaw and his trials and tribulation
Luke Shaw has endured a rollercoaster ride since joining Manchester United from Southampton in July 2014. The Englishman was among the most promising young full-backs in the world when he arrived at Old Trafford over a decade ago. However, he has been in and out of the starting lineup throughout his spell with Manchester United, with injuries stunting his progress.
While the 29-year-old full-back has been a dependable performer for much of his spell at Old Trafford, his absence through fitness issues means he has not been a reliable asset for Manchester United. Shaw’s battles with injuries have continued this season, with the experienced full-back managing only 98 minutes of game time across three appearances in all competitions thus far.
In addition, Tyrell Malacia has barely been available for Manchester United since the start of the 2023/24 season. So, the Red Devils have played without an out-and-out left-back for most of the last 18 months, with Diogo Dalot playing as a makeshift starter on the left flank.
What next?
While recent reports have refuted suggestions Manchester United would sell Luke Shaw in the winter transfer window, he faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford heading into the summer transfer window. In addition, the Red Devils are scouring the market for a left-back, with Nuno Mendes emerging as a top target.
In addition, recent reports have linked Manchester United with Patrick Dorgu. So, it is hardly surprising that Shaw’s long-term future at the Premier League club is uncertain. Ruben Amorim is reportedly contemplating sanctioning the 29-year-old Englishman’s departure in the summer transfer window.
Selling Shaw will also help Manchester United free up his £200,000-a-week wages. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the injury-riddled English international heading into the summer transfer window.
