Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has admitted that he is speaking to national team teammates Harry Kane and Declan Rice to join him at Old Trafford.
Both Kane and Rice are transfer targets of United, who are keen on signing a proven goalscorer and an energetic defensive midfielder this summer.
The Red Devils are expected to bid for Kane and Rice in the coming days as soon as they get clarity from the club.
Ahead of a potential move for the duo, Manchester United fans were sent into hysteria over the weekend when Shaw shared a picture on social media showing him alongside Kane and Rice.
The trio are currently part of the England squad training at Man United’s Carrington training facilities ahead of the Three Lions Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday.
Shaw’s social media post came with the teasing caption ‘Carrington tour’, leading fans to speculate that he was tapping both players for the club.
And when asked about Kane and Rice coming to Old Trafford this summer during a pre-match press conference, the left-back stated that he is talking to both players about how good Manchester United is.
“I was half joking; it is a bit of both. But I would take them in a heartbeat if it was down to me. Hopefully, they like it and can get used to it,” Shaw said.
“I would love a few of them to join – I am not going to lie,” he said of his England teammates.
“I am speaking to them, telling them how good Manchester is because I know their qualities.
“I know they are world-class players, and they would be a massive help to us, but I can only say so much. It is up to the club, and whatever they decide, so we have to go from there. It is not normally discussed, but because of the time of the season, there is a lot of talk, a lot of banter.”
