Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has signed a new four‑year contract that will keep him at the club until June 2027. The deal is worth £200,000 a week. Shaw first arrived at United from Southampton in 2014 for £30 million, becoming the most expensive teenager in world football at the time.

The 27‑year‑old enjoyed an excellent season under manager Erik ten Hag, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring once and providing six assists. Internationally, he has earned 29 caps for England and scored three goals, including the opening goal in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

“Nine years ago I signed for this amazing club, and I’m thrilled to be extending my stay,” Shaw said. “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.”
