On the one hand, United are already looking for a long-term left-back, with the defender set to turn 32 before the start of the 2027-28 season.<\/p>\n<p>It would therefore be logical for the club to plan ahead rather than wait until his decline becomes clear.<\/p>\n<p>Shaw, on the other hand, gave United a huge reminder of his worth last season. He became only the fifth player in Manchester United&#8217;s Premier League era to start all 38 league games in a single season.<\/p>\n<p>After years of injury concerns, this level of availability was a big statement.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s official website confirmed in 2023 that Shaw had signed a contract until 2027, with Sky Sports also reporting on the extension at the time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_could_offer_Shaw_a_Maguire-type_contract\"><\/span>Manchester United could offer Shaw a Maguire-type contract<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If United decide to keep Shaw, the club could consider a structure similar to Harry Maguire&#8217;s recent contract extension, with lower guaranteed wages and bonuses and performance clauses.<\/p>\n<p>That would be a fair compromise. Shaw remains one of United&#8217;s most experienced defenders and can still provide quality when fit, but the club also need to protect themselves financially.<\/p>\n<p>This feels less like a loyalty decision and more like a test of United&#8217;s new discipline.<\/p>\n<p>There may still be a role for Shaw, but only on terms that suit the club&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Plan B: Journalist confirms Man United&#8217;s plans in case Matheus Fernandes transfer fails<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United are reportedly willing to keep Luke Shaw beyond his current contract, but only if the experienced left-back accepts a pay cut.According to The Sun, Shaw is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and does not include an option to extend his contract.
