Luke Shaw to have medical at Manchester United ahead of move
Manchester United’s rebuilding project continues apace, with Luke
Shaw due to have a medical ahead of a proposed move from Southampton.
Having completed the signing of Ander Herrera earlier on Thursday, it now seems as if the highly rated 18-year-old defender will soon be following the Spaniard into Old Trafford.
Shaw is due to have a medical at the club’s training ground as his much-mooted move to United edges closer.
Southampton value Shaw at £30m although United bid of £27m in May, offering him around £100,000 a week.
He would become Louis van Gaal’s second signing after Herrera paid compensation to Athletic Bilbao to buy himself out of his contract.
United said he was joining on a four-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year. The deal is believed to be worth around £28.85m.
Athletic Bilbao said in a statement on their website: “The Football League has certified Athletic Club that player Ander Herrera has fulfilled the requirements of the applicable regulations valid for unilateral termination of the employment contract that bound him to our club, by depositing today the amount of compensation established in the contract.
“The Athletic Club thanks Ander Herrera for his dedication during the three seasons he has enjoyed the club and wishes him the best in his future sports projects.”
