Everton may have a chance of signing Luke Shaw from Manchester United, if they make a move.

With Luke Shaw’s future at Manchester United currently in serious doubt, Everton should be preparing a January bid for the England international.

Shaw has publicly been criticised by Jose Mourinho twice since the Portuguese became manager of United.

And The Sun now suggest that Shaw’s future at Old Trafford is in doubt, with Mourinho having doubts over the 21-year-old.

Everton should now look to take advantage of the situation, and make a move for the former Southampton youngster.

Everton have money to spend in January, as Farhad Moshiri has confirmed, and there would surely be few better investments than Shaw.

Although he would likely set the Toffees back a large fee, he would be a long-term replacement for Leighton Baines and could perform as their left-back for a lengthy period of time.

Shaw is still only 21, and while he has learning to do, he has proven his quality at Premier League level and remains one of the finest prospects in England.

Shaw’s arrival at Goodison Park would be a statement of Everton’s intent, and if he is available it seems a no brainer for Ronald Koeman’s side to make a move.
