      But he has successfully negotiated an extension for a further four years.
      And the news will come as a good boost for manager Erik ten Hag as he continues to shape his squad for the long-term.
      Shaw, 27, only signed a new contract in December.
      That was when United triggered the option to add an extra 12 months to his deal.

      But they have wasted no time in tying down the England full-back despite the uncertainty over the ownership of the club.
      David De Gea and Marcus Rashford are also in ongoing talks over new deals, too.
      Defender Shaw joined the Red Devils from Southampton in 2014 in a record £30million move.
      However, injury troubles and fall-outs with previous managers, especially Jose Mourinho, limited his progression.

      But he is now the first-choice left-back ahead of Tyrell Malacia – though Shaw has also filled in superbly at centre-back when required.
      Ten Hag has also been impressed by his character and personality off the pitch and wants him to be part of the new era.
      England boss Gareth Southgate is similarly pleased with Shaw and was delighted he stuck with the squad during the recent international break despite his red card in Italy ruling him out of the game against Ukraine.

      Shaw has played 35 times for United across all competitions this season, including 90 minutes in the Carabao Cup final win – chipping in with one goal and six assists.
      The Red Devils still have hopes of winning the FA Cup and Europa League while the main aim in the Premier League is to secure a top-four finish.
      Ten Hag’s side face a hectic April with nine matches, starting with a trip to Newcastle on Sunday before facing Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals and going away to Tottenham. More

      Onana, 26, joined Inter on a free transfer from Ajax last summer.
      The former Cameroon international, who was sent home from the World Cup for disciplinary reasons, has made 28 appearances in all competitions after battling Inter icon Samir Handanovic for the No1 jersey.
      But Onana could soon be on the move to England, with Gazzetta dello Sport claiming Chelsea and United are interested.
      The Blues are ready to sell Edouard Mendy this summer, and still harbour some doubts over Kepa Arrizabalaga’s capabilities as first-choice goalie.

      As for United, they could lose David De Gea on a free transfer as both parties struggle to agree a new deal.
      And Inter are thought to want £35million to sell Onana, who had an on-field fight with teammate Edin Dzeko last month.
      However, Chelsea are ready to offer up several stars in exchange for a cheaper fee.
      Romelu Lukaku is already at Inter on loan, and the Blues could pave the way for a second season by landing Onana.

      Inter have also shown concrete interest in Trevoh Chalobah, who has dropped down the rankings under Graham Potter.
      And the Italians also fancy the look of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang — ideally on a free transfer.
      As a result, Chelsea are said to be edging United in the Onana race.
      But the stopper played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
      And that could sway things in United’s favour should they make a formal approach. More

      Eintracht Frankfurt chief breaks silence on Man Utd transfer target Randal Kolo Muani with warning message

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been issued a transfer warning regarding target Randal Kolo Muani.The French forward, 24, has been on United’s radar ahead of a possible summer move.

      He has scored 16 goals and produced 12 assists for Frankfurt this season following his arrival from Nantes in Ligue 1 at the start of the campaign.
      This has also seen the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich join United in the transfer chase for his signature.
      As we reported earlier this week, the Red Devils may have to fork out £105million to prise him away from Oliver Glasner’s Eintracht Frankfurt.
      However, it seems that the Bundesliga side are determined to resist all big money offers and hold on to their star man.

      Their director of football Markus Krosche told Sport1: “We have no intention of selling Kolo Muani now. The hype about him is understandable and normal.
      “Another season with us would be good for Randal, we want to continue and not necessarily sell him.”
      But Kolo Muani dropped his biggest hint yet that he may move in the summer during an interview last week.
      He said: “We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club.

      “We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs.”
      His form this term led to a call-up from France for the World Cup in Qatar, a few short months after he made his international debut.
      He made a strong impression in appearances off the bench in the semi-final and final.
      Kolo Muani netted a killing blow in the semi-final victory over Morocco, while he picked up an assist in the final against Argentina.
      However, he was denied the chance to win the World Cup when Emiliano Martinez saved his shot in extra time which later saw him subjected to vile racist abuse. More

      The likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Manchester United have been tipped to sign the Englishman.

      Tuchel and Mount enjoyed a good working relationship while at Chelsea together.
      This included Mount setting up Kai Havertz’s winning goal in the Champions League final under Tuchel and Mount’s best output for goals and assists in a single season in his career so far.
      Indeed, SunSport took a look at how Bayern may line up after Tuchel has got his hands on some of his own players in the summer transfer window.

      After the Blues announced losses of £121m in the latest financial year, a mass clearout is expected to occur, with Mount one player touted to lead the exodus.
      It comes as Todd Boehly and Co look set to try and navigate potentially tricky financial waters given the club’s likely loss of Champions League football.

      Tottenham fans all say the same thing as Chelsea star Mason Mount emerges as ambitious transfer target

      His contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire in 2024.
      And he has been linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.
      But according to The Athletic, Tottenham are the latest team to emerge as an interested party.
      Spurs are understood to have been monitoring the England man since last summer.

      But Lilywhites supporters do not believe Mount – who has 36 international caps – would consider a move across the city to Chelsea’s London rivals.
      Reacting on social media, one person said: “As if he’d come here 😂.”
      Another replied: “Like that is ever going to happen.”
      A third simply responded: “Complete non-starter.”

      And a fourth pointed out: “Can get [James] Maddison for less money and wages.”
      Mount, a product of Chelsea’s academy system, has contributed 33 goals and 37 assists in 192 games for the club.
      But just nine goal contributions in 32 matches this season have called into question his importance to the Blues moving forward.
      Bayern are emerging as an option for the Englishman, particularly after hiring Thomas Tuchel as their head coach – a manager Mount thrived under and won the Champions League with in West London.
      And it could work out for the German champions as Chelsea may well prefer to sell him to a foreign club rather than an English rival.
      But a Premier League move is also a possibility, with Liverpool thought to be leading the race among the domestic clubs.
      Jurgen Klopp is keen to re-energise his midfield in the summer as Jordan Henderson and Thiago move deeper into their 30s. More

      Edu played a key role in signing the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer.

      Edu plans on continuing to rebuild Arsenal’s squad as they prepare for Champions League football next term.

      Despite only agreeing a professional contract in October, the Seagulls are now preparing fresh terms to ward off any interest.
      Ferguson’s form since making the step up to the first team has caught the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.
      Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all tried to nab Ferguson ahead of Brighton when he made the move over from Bohemians in Ireland two years ago.
      And their interest has not gone away thanks to his seven goals and three assists in 16 senior appearances this season.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Tottenham have also been linked with a move for the Republic of Ireland international, who scored on his first start for Stephen Kelly’s side against Latvia last week.
      Despite the interest, Ferguson is keen to continue his growth at The Amex following a flying start under Italian boss Roberto De Zerbi, who has been full of praise for the young striker.

      Earlier this month, De Zerbi said: “He is unique for us in terms of quality, in terms of characteristic.
      “He knows very well the way to score. I think he can and he has to improve, in the quality of play, in ball possession, to keep the ball better.

      “But he is 18 and he will improve for sure, because I know the guy, I know his passion, his attitude. I have no doubt.”
      Ferguson would be the latest in a host of Brighton stars to commit to new deals this season.
      Moises Caicedo, Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Lallana have all agreed contract extensions since De Zerbi’s arrival last year.
      And Japan international Kaoru Mitoma could soon be due one as well. More

      Man Utd told to ditch flop winger Jadon Sancho and seal Kaoru Mitoma transfer as Brighton star is ‘rare’ winger

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED should get rid of Jadon Sancho and replace him with Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, according to Red Devils legend Paul Parker.Sancho, 23, has started just two Premier League games since October as the England star continues to struggle to settle at Old Trafford.

      He has registered just 10 goals and four assists in 63 appearances since arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £73million in 2021.
      By contrast, Mitoma, 25, has been a standout player in the Premier League this season.
      Joining Brighton for £2.7m in 2021 before being loaned out to Union Saint-Gilloise until last summer, the Japanese international has hit the ground running since breaking into the Seagulls’ side.
      His five goals and one assist show just a fraction of the impact he has had on Roberto De Zerbi’s side and the south-coast outfit could command a big fee.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But Parker, who won two Premier League titles with Man Utd, believes he would be worth it as he can be a defender’s nightmare.
      Speaking to MyBettingSites, he said: “Mitoma gave Trent-Alexander Arnold a very bad time but to be fair, a lot of people have done that.
      “I really like him. He is very direct and he wants to go on the outside of his opponent, which is a rarity in today’s football. No defender wants that and he is very good at that.”
      Parker, who received 19 England caps, is aware bringing in transfer target Mitoma would likely see one of United’s forwards exit the club.

      Erik ten Hag is blessed with an array of options either side of the frontman including Marcus Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial, Anthony Elanga, Bruno Fernandes and Facundo Pellistri.
      But Parker insists he would have no problem with his old club axing Sancho.

      He added: “I would love to see him at Man United but then they have to offload some of their wingers and they could start with getting rid of Jadon Sancho. I would rather have Mitoma in the squad than him.
      “He has proven himself in the Premier League and I doubt that Sancho will ever do that. I think he should go back to Germany and play in his comfort zone where he is best.
      “But if he comes to the club Man United needs to figure out what to do with Rashford, who is best at the left wing. But that’s a luxury problem to have two good wingers.” More
