Any chance we could still get him?

Always a chance since we seemingly have a good relationship with them. Willian/Martial are the big points of business, Shaw would have to be real serious about coming here to get into the discussion I think though. Sell Marcos Alonso to a spanish team and bring in Luke Shaw is a nice looking move.

Why would anyone want Luke Shaw at this point? He's making 100k a week!

Changing an average LB for another average LB is stupid, Luke Shaw needs to lose about a stone and his level is Newcastle.

Yes, the contract would have to change. But if a couple things go right and he gets some confidence back we could have a real dangerous player. HG helps also. Or maybe he is too far gone to save, Summertime always skews with my perception of players as optimism and belief creep in instead of reality.

He's looking pretty fit this summer

the contract would have to change? Do you know of any agent who will instruct his client to leave and accept less money to do so? His contract will have to finish before he does anything like accept less on a new deal.

The agent would never instruct a player, but a players will matters. If he is riding the bench and miserable i do believe a player would take less to leave a toxic situation if it means he can get a chance at more game time. 100k and on the bench or 70k and in the rotation? at his age I think he would take the playing time and less money. It does happen.

Not for me thanks. You are reminiscing on what could've been... I'm quite content with Emerson and Alonso

You're probably right, focusing more on his potential than his current form. Content is the correct word for Emerson and Alonso, Be curious to see how Marcos adapts to a new system.

I think Emerson supplants him.

Who the hell is Luke Shaw... Leon Bailey is the real deal....pls Chelsea accept Barcelona reported €60m bid for willian if true and invest it on this sensational talent.... I am more than confident in Emerson...he is gonna play sarriball...

He has untapped potential I think. Regarding his weight, hes always been a bit heavy since his move to United and even more so after breaking his leg but hes posted an image on social media of him in Dubai with Uniteds strength and conditioning coach, it looks like hes lost a lot of weight and intends to keep doing so too. Fair enough the games he played last season his manager publicly criticised him (not sure Jose even understood why, I think he just likes to do that with certain players) and played Ashley Young at LB, but we've seen Jose here constantly stick with experienced average players over more realistic solutions (Ivanovic at RB instead of Azpi and not using Filipe Luis arguably one of the best LBs in Europe?)

If we lost any LBs, I think under Sarri he would be a shrewd signing. I mean he was a top talent and if its any similar to the deal we got for Barkley, if we can get him for 15M and he doesn't work out, its no big loss but we already have Alonso and Emerson who I think will get a big chance this season.

I think hes up for a gamble too. Specially as it looks like hes got contract disputes (we know all about them eh Eden!) Maybe in the Jan sales? Hes obviously posted the photo to show hes put the work in. Edens arse is twice Shaws size right now but nobody's on wobble bottoms case!!

For some reason its pretty obvious Sarri hasn't gelled with Emerson. But even with the defensive probs with Alonso that wont matter as much once we start pressing/defending as a team.

I wouldn't want to lose Alonso under Sarri as its suiting him down to the ground so I dont understand how Granny can supposedly be open to offers for him. Specially as Sarris seems to like him so much

I do wish we had gone for Telles!

[OneMoSalah 8,616]

Been a huge improvement so far for United. In the England squad too. If Real were to come for Alonso in January would take him as a replacement.

I highly doubt he's going anywhere now
