Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Luke Shaw from Southampton Football Club. He joins on a four-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.
Shaw, 18, recently gained his third cap for England and was the youngest player to feature in this year’s World Cup campaign. The left-back has made 67 appearances for Southampton since making his debut in 2012.

Luke Shaw said: "I am thrilled and excited to be joining Manchester United. 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."

Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs said: "Luke is a very talented young left-back with great potential. He has developed immensely during his time at Southampton and has all the attributes to become a top player. I am delighted he has joined Manchester United as I believe this is the right club for him to continue his development as a young player and eventually fulfil that promise."

To much for an untried 18 year old kid. Southampton have made over £50 million buy selling Lallana and Shaw, that's good business by them.

He has the potential and is very young. I still feel the fee agreed is a bit too much, though.

£30milion is a lot of money for a teenager, but this lad is a quality footballer.

He can play right back or left back and could in future play in midfield. Reminds me a little bit of Lahm of Germany.

Jordi Alba was 10m. He is no way near Alba.

Right back? Has he ever played at right back?

I heard that he played right back early in his career and at youth level.

Ah right, just never seen him play there, also he is naturally left footed

I was actually taking to friends about this the other day, there have been quite a few naturally right footed left backs BUT I can't think of a single naturally left footed right back

Mourinho experimented with Coentrao during his Madrid days in some of the Clasico matches at RB.

What a journey its been for Shaw from breaking his leg to being bullied by one of the greatest managers,

Ole has taken over and resurrected him and turned him into one of the best FBs in the world.
