Manchester United's left-back Luke Shaw is reportedly weighing up his future at the club after a turbulent season marked by persistent injuries and inconsistent form.
The 28-year-old England international, who has been with the Red Devils since 2014, is said to be frustrated with his lack of game time and ongoing fitness issues that have hampered his progress.
A Season of Setbacks
Shaw's campaign has been disrupted by multiple muscle injuries, limiting him to just 12 Premier League appearances last term. The defender, who was once a mainstay in United's backline, has seen his position challenged by new signings and emerging academy talents.
Contract Situation Adds Pressure
With his current deal set to expire in 2024 (though United hold an option to extend), speculation about Shaw's future has intensified. Sources close to the player suggest he's considering his options as he enters what should be the peak years of his career.
Potential Suitors Circling
Several Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation, with Newcastle United and Aston Villa reportedly showing interest in the experienced full-back. A move abroad hasn't been ruled out either, with clubs in Italy and Spain known admirers of Shaw's attacking qualities.
Manchester United officials remain publicly supportive of Shaw, with manager Erik ten Hag recently praising his professionalism during rehabilitation. However, the club's potential pursuit of new defensive reinforcements could ultimately influence Shaw's decision.
As pre-season preparations begin, all eyes will be on whether Shaw features in Ten Hag's plans or if this summer marks the end of his decade-long association with the Manchester club.
