24-year-old Premier League stalwart has been 'followed extensively' by Man Utd ahead of potential 2027 pursuit

INEOS are preparing to prioritise the backline the same way they did with the midfield this year. Who might be on their way out come the end of 2026/2027?

Of the trio, Shaw is the only one whose deal does not contain a 12-month option, meaning new terms would need to be negotiated with United if he were to stay beyond the current campaign. It remains to be seen what United will decide to do with 33-year-old Maguire, who has started all five Premier League games this term.

Red Devils chiefs have'followed him extensively'while he's been making a name for himself in the English top flight, having joined in a £15 million switch from Corinthians back in August 2023. However, one factor that is sure to make any potential pursuit more complicated for United is that the 24-year-old, having originally signed a five-year deal, put pen to paper on an extension back in May that keeps him tied to the City Ground until 2030.
