Manchester United will reportedly not sell Luke Shaw in the January transfer window.
The England international has had a terrible couple of seasons with injury as he has missed copious amount of game time.
In the last campaign, he only played 15 matches in total and this season he has managed just 68 minutes of Premier League action.
At 29 years old, it is highly unlikely that his medical issues will ever change and it is clear that the club is no longer betting on him in the long term.
Shaw had been linked to a move to SSC Napoli in January and United are clearly in the market for a new left wing back either now or in the summer, with the likes of Nuno Mendes and Milos Kerkez often discussed as potential replacements.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano however, Shaw’s future will not be settled until the summer at least.
“I don’t see any movement for Luke Shaw in January, it’s quiet at the momen,” the transfer guru said.
“In the summer there could be changes, but now it’s quiet. In any case, Man United are looking for a LWB because Shaw and Tyrell Malacia had many problems so that position could be covered.”
The Englishman has two years left on his deal and wages of €200,000 a week.
These figures could certainly prove prohibitive to their desire to sell the injury-ridden star.
United could turn to another source of revenue to fund their left back purchase however, as Tyrell Malacia has been reported to be of interest to Italian side Como 1907.
Romano has also claimed that it is possible the Dutchman may leave United this month, which could free up some valuable funds to make a much-needed signing for the left wing back position.
