Luke Shaw set to have medical at Manchester United ahead of transfer

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.
