Luke Shaw puts pen to paper on a new four-year contract at Manchester United which will keep him at the club until 2027.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has signed a new four-year contract at Old Trafford, keeping him at the club until 2027.

The 27-year-old's previous deal was due to expire in 2024, but he has now put pen to paper on fresh terms that will take him through to shortly before his 32nd birthday, and take his time at the club to 13 years.

Shaw has established himself as a key figure under Erik ten Hag this season, featuring 36 times across all competitions and registering one goal and six assists.

The England international has been utilised at centre-back in addition to his more recognised position of left-back during the Dutchman's first campaign at the helm.

"Nine years ago, I signed for this amazing club, and I'm thrilled to be extending my stay," Shaw told the club's official website.

"I've grown immensely since coming to Manchester all those years ago, both as a person and as a player; I know what is needed to succeed at a club like this.

"We're at the beginning of our journey under the manager and his coaching staff. We've been successful already this season, but we want much more. There's a great opportunity to create something special here, and I'm going to give everything to be part of that."

Manchester United's football director John Murtough added: "Luke is a massively important player to the squad and has grown into one of the best defenders in the world.

"He has been at the club for nearly a decade and understands the expectations for success, and the hard work, commitment and high standards required to achieve it.

"He has added leadership to his other outstanding abilities, and we all look forward to seeing him in a Manchester United shirt for years to come."

The confirmation of the new contract comes just days after Shaw publicly criticised his side's "unacceptable" performance during Sunday's defeat to Newcastle United.

That match was the defender's 249th appearance for Man United since joining them from Southampton in 2014, during which time he has helped the club to Europa League and EFL Cup wins.
