Newcastle United are reportedly planning a bold move for Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw.
According to Football Insider, The Magpies are monitoring Shaw’s situation as they look to bolster their squad.
New signing Tyrell Malacia has taken Shaw’s place in the first team.
The 23-year-old has been a breath of fresh air offering more energy on and off the ball.
Erik ten Hag’s new United embrace pressure as one of their core principles, which suits the agile Malacia.
Shaw’s future at United is up in the air as his contract expires in 2023.
United have the option to activate an extension for another year.
Shaw’s career at Old Trafford has been a mixed one. After being regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world in the 2020-21 season, the Englishman’s form dropped drastically.
Since then, he has struggled to come back strong, ultimately losing his place on the team. A move to Newcastle could be beneficial for both parties.
The report goes on to detail Newcastle’s interest.”
“Newcastle are aware of Shaw’s situation and are ready to monitor him ahead of the January window when United could be tempted by a cut-price offer.”
“Matt Targett is the first-choice left-back at St James’ Park, but was left out of the starting XI by last weekend’s 4-1 loss in favor of the versatile Dan Burn.”
“Shaw, 27, is seen by the Newcastle recruiting team as an upgrade on the pair.”
