Window Cleaner Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 The club are probably waiting for the Lallana sale to go through so they can announce them both at the same time. might as well wait until next week, probably have a couple more to announce by then.

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."

He's right - selling an Academy product for such a large fee clearly does endorse the work our Academy does.

Beckenham Saint Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Chuffed for Luke, don't begrudge him a move. Gutted he's gone, but looking at the business, it's great for Saints. He's now the most expensive teenager / fourth most expensive defender and a club record-received fee. Good business for someone not even 20! Speaking of his age, I am struggling with the thought that he will likely earn well over 500 times what I do in a week and yet he would have been the year below me at school!

WealdSaint Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 I feel a bit sad that he has left us. I do think that it would have been better for everybody for him to spend another year at Saints (as with hindsight it would have been for Walcott & Oxo) The next few weeks in the transfer market are pretty crucial!

It's not JWP and Chambers that are going to propel us to the upper heights of the PL, it's either with bought in players or not at all. Suits me, not an academy fan at all. Well, at the risk of repeating myself, until we get to the Liverpool game, I have no idea who will take the to field for us, but as a result I'm not going to start making judgements now. Chambers came from nowhere last pre-season, so who knows if others might do the same this year? Add in some recruits, perhaps the likes of JWP will have progressed. Harry Reed, Mcqueen perhaps? I don't know. But this automatic assumption from some that we're doomed is too easy, and frankly, mostly based on knee-jerk reactions to losing two key players. I understand that, but as a result now is not the time for those people to be debating what will happen next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 The best thing about this in terms of the academy is building our reputation throughout Britain. Every parent of every 10 year old wannabe will want their kid to go to Saints academy when they see us turning out the best players in the World. Bale, Walcott, Chamberlain, Lallana and Shaw, that's quite some track record which nobody in Britain can match. These big money sales in the long run will mean when can take our pick of the best young talent in the South of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Reeds words about him doing well moving on to bigger things 'as others have done before' are dangerously close to saying 'and others will in the future'. Situation normal. Damned if they do...
