• Left-back could sign extension within days
• Shaw wants sizeable rise on £100,000-a-week wage
Luke Shaw is in advanced talks with
Manchester United regarding a new contract, with the left-back content to commit his long-term future to the club following an impressive start to the season.
Discussions over fresh terms have reached a pivotal point, it is understood, so if an agreement can be reached the 23-year-old will sign on again in the immediate future.
Shaw, who joined from Southampton in summer 2014, earns around £100,000 a week and is seeking a sizeable pay rise. After being serially criticised by José Mourinho in the manager’s previous two seasons, Shaw has been arguably United’s best player in the current campaign.
His deal expires in the summer and the club do not hold any extension clause.
