Manchester United ended up making him the most expensive teenager in the world – a record that was broken by Renato Sanches this summer – when they signed him for £30 million in 2014, the Red Devils beating Chelsea to his signature.

England manager Sam Allardyce is ready to bring Manchester United defender Luke Shaw back into the worldwide fold, according to the Daily Express.
After starting (and finishing) all three of Manchester United’s 2016-17 Premier League matches, it’s clear that Shaw is returning to his top level after 10 hard months out.
After unfortunately missing Euro 2016, many are expecting Shaw to be included in Sam Allardyce’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Slovakia, which will be announced on Sunday.
The left-back has returned to action in time for Jose Mourinho’s new era.
“When I found Luke Shaw in the training ground, it was a surprise for me because I thought he can not be ready”, said Mourinho. He’s a cool manager. I’d run into their penalty area and I should have shot with my right foot but I wanted to come inside.
“At the time I thought: ‘Give him the benefit of the doubt, it wasn’t actually a bad tackle.’ But the more I’ve seen it since, the more I think: ‘You know, that was actually a really bad challenge'”. I just felt I had more opportunity of first-team football here, ‘ Shaw told The Guardian. It hasn’t been the best few years but all of a sudden it feels really good, really positive.
Life under Mourinho has gotten off to a bang.
Is that aura coming back? “We have a great partnership going, it is a strong team”. I just want to push on now’. They took me back to the dressing room and it was weird because at the start it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would have.
