Manchester United are reported to be keen on selling Luke Shaw to Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw’s future at the club is in doubt, with The Independent reporting the Red Devils are planning to cash in on him this summer.
It is claimed that United have earmarked title rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur as potential buyers for the left-back, although whether either are keen remains to be seen.
With regards to Chelsea, it would depend whether Blues boss Antonio Conte believes Shaw is able to play as a wing-back and fit into their 3-5-2 system, but they already have multiple options, including recently recalled loanee Nathan Ake.

At Tottenham he could get the chance to link up with former Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino, which would have to be tempting.
The problem with Spurs from Shaw’s perspective is they have two quality left-backs already, including the player keeping him out of the England national team, Danny Rose.

The only way Shaw could land a move to Tottenham is if either leave, which is possible given recent interest in the duo, but not more of a long shot than a nailed on possibility.
Shaw is only 21 and would likely flourish under Pochettino once again, but there is no great desire among fans for a move to be pushed through.
