Luke Shaw has completed a £30 million move to Manchester United from Southampton to become the world’s most expensive teenager.

Luke Shaw Thrilled and Excited to join the Reds.

Shaw has signed a four-year deal worth £100,000 a week after United fought off late interest from Chelsea to seal the deal.

The 18-year-old’s move to Old Trafford has been on the cards since the end of last season, but negotiations became advanced after England’s early exit from the World Cup.
