Surprise Manchester United transfer could put Erik ten Hag favourite on alert

Luke Shaw got a “cheeky” message from Erik ten Hag this week, although he wouldn’t disclose the details. We can probably guess that perhaps the Manchester United manager was telling Shaw he would see him on Thursday.

Ten Hag will be wanting the Netherlands to get the better of England in Dortmund on Wednesday night, sending Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo off on their holidays and getting them back for pre-season training at least a few days earlier than expected. He will also want his home country to reach the final of the European Championship.




Shaw’s smile as he discussed Ten Hag’s message – and his refusal to reveal the contents – hinted at the relationship between the two. Asked earlier in a press conference at England’s Blankenhain training base for Euro 2024, the left-back revealed his delight at his club manager staying on for another year.

“It wasn’t really a surprise – I think he was always going to sign,” he said. “I think everyone’s very pleased with him staying. He’s had a trophy each season and I think there’s more to come.”

You would expect Shaw to be integral to that, although he could be feeling a bit of heat after an injury-hit 2023/24. It was the collapse of the left-hand side of United’s defence that proved so costly.

Shaw did at least manage to play 15 times last season, but it was a stop-start campaign derailed by two significant muscle injuries. His understudy, Tyrell Malacia, didn’t kick a ball all season.
