Sources have told Graeme Bailey that talks have taken place between Manchester United and Luke Shaw’s agents over a new deal. Bailey stated that TEAMtalk confirms United would be open to the 31-year-old remaining at Old Trafford and that discussions have already occurred. However, he added that important factors are still to be resolved. Shaw's availability and playing time will be key considerations as United assess whether to offer an extension, as he has been absent for matches during the current campaign after not missing a game last season. His salary is another issue, as he is one of the highest-paid players at the club and may need to accept a reduction in wages to secure a new contract.

According to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider, Manchester United are planning talks over a new contract for Luke Shaw at the start of 2027, and the club wants to address the situation in the coming months. Fraser Fletcher of TEAMtalk reported that United only plan to offer a short-term extension, which would be a one-year deal or two years at most. The same report adds that Shaw may be relegated to squad player status depending on the quality of the new left-back that arrives.

An update from Team Talk states that Manchester United would only be willing to offer Luke Shaw a short-term contract extension. Shaw is set to become a free agent at the end of this season.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to keep Luke Shaw beyond his current contract, but on the condition that the experienced English left-back accepts a reduced salary. Shaw is entering the final year of his deal at Old Trafford. According to The Sun, his contract does not include an option for an extra season. The 30-year-old currently earns around £200,000 per week, and it is not expected that United will offer the same level of wages if new negotiations occur. If United decide to keep Shaw, the club may consider a structure similar to Harry Maguire’s recent renewal, which includes lower guaranteed wages with bonuses and performance clauses. In 2023, United’s official website confirmed that Shaw signed a deal until 2027, and Sky Sports also reported on that contract extension at the time. The defender, who joined the club in July 2014, made 38 appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Shaw has been capped 34 times for England, scoring three goals. His current market value is €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
