Man United in pole position for €50m-rated Luke Shaw replacement as Real Madrid withdraw interest

Luke Shaw’s injury concerns will soon see him moved on at Man United, and the Red Devils are now in pole position to land a €50m-rated replacement.

The England international isn’t likely to be the only departure with Ruben Amorim keen to see another player leave in the January window.

Indeed, an insider believes that every Man United player should be up for sale during the next few windows, given how poorly they’ve performed for the club over an extended period.

If Amorim is to be the one to finally bring the glory days back to Old Trafford, then desperate measures will almost certainly be needed.

The Portuguese needs to succeed where the likes of Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Erik ten Hag et al have failed, though he at least seems to have the backing of the board in terms of his vision and what needs to be done to achieve the same.
