Luke Shaw and Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle on a new four-year contract.
Shaw's current contract is good through the end of the following season; however, before this season, United activated an automatic 12-month extension to give them more time to come to new terms with the England international.
Shaw, now 27 years old, is maybe having his best United season to date, putting up a number of standout displays for new boss Erik ten Hag. While United is vying for a top four spot as well as additional Europa League and FA Cup victories, Shaw was a member of the club that won the Carabao Cup in February.
Although it's not yet clear when United will formally announce the contract, it's thought that Shaw is content with the conditions achieved after talks have advanced since January.
Marcus Rashford, who is having the best season of his career, and David de Gea, both of whom are due to extend their contracts with expiration dates on their present agreements in sight, are two players with whom United is still in talks.
De Gea's current deal expires at the end of the current campaign, thus United is trying to cut it down from the £375,000 per week agreed upon when the Spaniard previously committed his future. Little over a year remains on Rashford's contract, and United is optimistic that a deal can be reached.
Another player with whom United is negotiating new deals is Diogo Dalot.
With his attitude and versatility—he has frequently filled in at left center back this season—Shaw is said to have won over Erik ten Hag. According to Shaw's coaches, he may be the United team's most improved player since they arrived.
Shaw's childhood team, Chelsea, had been keeping an eye on his contract status, but since Ten Hag's arrival, Shaw hasn't given any thought to leaving United. Shaw reportedly enjoys playing for the Dutchman and is a great fan of him.
