Stoke boss Mark Hughes has issued a ‘hands off’ warning for Potters captain Ryan Shawcross amid reports of interest from the centre-back’s former club Manchester United, according to the Manchester Evening News.
There has been talk this week that United, whose youth set-up Shawcross was part of before he moved to the Britannia Stadium in 2007-08, have been looking at the 27-year-old as a potential January transfer window signing.
