Manchester United planning for Luke Shaw departure

Manchester United is preparing for the potential departure of Luke Shaw following the conclusion of the 2026-27 season. Reports indicate the club does not intend to extend the 31-year-old defender's contract, which is set to expire in June 2027, potentially allowing him to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer.

Shaw joined Manchester United from Southampton in 2014 and has made 330 appearances for the club, recording five goals and 31 assists. While he has secured multiple trophies, including an FA Cup and a Europa League title, persistent injury issues have impacted his ability to serve as a long-term fixture in the defense. The club is reportedly seeking more durable options for the left-back position as part of a broader squad restructuring.
