Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has reportedly agreed a new four-year contract at Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old's existing deal with the Red Devils is due to expire in the summer of 2024, and there were question marks over his future last summer following the arrival of Tyrell Malacia.
Shaw lost his spot in the first XI after disappointing performances against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford in the early stages of the campaign, but he regained his starting role at the start of October and has since been a vital player for Erik ten Hag's side.
According to The Athletic, the England international has now come to an agreement with the Red Devils over a new four-year contract.
Shaw has featured on 35 occasions for the 20-time English champions during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring one goal and contributing six assists in the process.
Man United head coach Ten Hag was asked about a potential new deal during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.
The Dutchman refused to confirm whether the deal had been signed but said that he would be "pleased" if the reports were true due to his importance to the team.
"If he signed, I don't know, I haven't heard, John [Murtough] didn't inform me until now. I have to wait for that. If true, I am pleased. We definitely want to keep him because he's a really important player for our team," said Ten Hag.
Shaw has primarily operated in his usual left-back position this season, but he has also been used as a central defender on occasions, notably against Barcelona in the Europa League.
The defender made the move to Old Trafford from Southampton in 2014, and he has represented the Red Devils on 248 occasions, contributing four goals and 28 assists in the process.
Shaw was in action for England during the international break, meanwhile, picking up a red card in his country's 2-1 victory over Italy in their opening Euro 2024 qualifier.
The full-back is now preparing to return to the field for Man United, with the Red Devils back in Premier League action away to Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.
Shaw has featured on 22 occasions in England's top flight this season, scoring once and providing two assists in the process.
Man United are also currently working on new deals for David de Gea and Marcus Rashford, with the former out of contract at the end of June, while the latter's terms are due to expire in the middle of 2024. body check tags ::
