Manchester United Set to Offer New Contract to Mourinho Reject as Alex Sandro Deal Flounders

Manchester United are considering offering a surprise contract renewal to out of favour left-back Luke Shaw, having baulked at Juventus' €60m asking price for Alex Sandro.

Jose Mourinho's side have been looking for a new left-back since the Portuguese manager took the reins at Old Trafford, and have tried out Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind out of position in the spot - as well as Shaw and Matteo Darmian.

I like Luke Shaw. He's talented and I'd still expect him to go and have a great career.

However, if Wayne Rooney, club record goalscorer, was called out for being out of shape off season, then a kid who can't get in the team for his attitude should know to take more care.
