Luke Shaw signs a new four-year contract extension with Manchester United as a reward for his outstanding season

Manchester United’s Luke Shaw has signed a new four-year contract that will keep him at the club for the next four years.

Shaw, who joined from Southampton in 2014, said: ‘Nine years ago, I signed for this amazing club, and I’m thrilled to be extending my stay.

‘I’ve grown immensely since coming to Manchester all those years ago, both as a person and as a player; I know what is needed to succeed at a club like this.

‘We’re at the beginning of our journey under the manager and his coaching staff.

‘We’ve been successful already this season, but we want much more. There’s a great opportunity to create something special here, and I’m going to give everything to be part of that.’

‘Luke is a massively important player to the squad and has grown into one of the best defenders in the world,’ said United’s football director John Murtough.

‘He has been at the club for nearly a decade and understands the expectations for success, and the hard work, commitment and high standards required to achieve it.’

‘He has added leadership to his other outstanding abilities, and we all look forward to seeing him in a Manchester United shirt for years to come.’ Shaw joined United from Southampton in 2014 for a cost of £30 million when he was only 18 years old.

He has now gone on to make 249 appearances for the club in all competitions, as well as 29 England caps. The new contract extends his stint with the club to more than a decade.
