With Patrice Evra also likely to leave in the summer David Moyes will push hard to bring in Southampton teenager Luke Shaw, who is now the Man United manager’s first choice to replace the French veteran.
Having attempted to land Leighton Baines and Fabio Coentrao from Everton and Real Madrid respectively David Moyes is ready to switch his attention to the highly rated England Under 21 international, who is a better fit for his long term Man United squad building plans.
Man United are ready to make an opening offer of as much as £18m for Shaw, an offer that the south-coast side may struggle to turn down.
There is also reported interest from Chelsea.
Shaw has matured into a quality consistent performer and has more than proven himself at Premier League level and is a player with a bright future and a player Moyes hopes to welcome in this summer.
