“I am thrilled and excited to be joining Manchester United,” Luke said upon becoming a Red back in 2014. 

“I have been at Southampton since I was eight years old, and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything they have done for me.

”I want to continue to progress my career and joining United is the ideal place for me to do that. 

“I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life and also looking forward to learning from the world-class players and management at the club.”

Shaw went on to make his competitive debut for the Reds in the following weeks, donning the no.3 shirt, in a 2-1 win over West Ham in the Premier League.
