Manchester [United Kingdom], April 4: English left-back Luke Shaw has signed a new contract which will extend his stay at the club until 30 June 2027.

Shaw joined Manchester United in 2014 from Southampton and since then he has made 249 appearances for the club. Shaw has been phenomenal for Manchester United since the moment he entered Carrington. Even though the beginning of his career was plagued by injuries Shaw made a strong comeback after Euro 2016.

"Nine years ago, I signed for this amazing club, and I'm thrilled to be extending my stay. 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," Shaw said as quoted by Manchester United.

After Erik Ten Hag took control of rebuilding Manchester United, Shaw has turned out to be a crucial cog in the machine, even though it is the beginning of their journey.

"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," Shaw continued. Fiorentina Defender Luca Ranieri Fakes Injury During Serie A Match Against Inter Milan To Let Teammate Sofyan Amrabat Break His Ramadan Fast (Watch Video).
