Shaw Would Like Kane And Rice At United ‘In A Heartbeat’

Manchester United versatile defender, Luke Shaw has admitted that he’ll like the duo of his England teammates — Declan Rice and Harry Kane, in United, if the decision were up to him.

With both Rice and Kane looking set to depart their respective clubs this summer, a handful of big European clubs has been poaching the duo. Rice for one is increasingly set to leave West Ham to Arsenal, if the rumours are anything to go, while Kane’s future at Tottenham Hotspur is also looking uncertain.

Reacting to an IG post he made where he had given Kane and Rice a tour of United’s Carrington training complex, Shaw admitted he was only “half-joking” when posting that, largely because he has been pestering them over a move to join him at Old Trafford next season.

His words: “Because of the timing of the season and what’s going on, there is a lot of talk. I can’t lie, I’d love a few of them to come to United, I’m not going to lie. I am speaking to them telling them how good Manchester is, because I know their qualities.

“They’re world-class players and they’d add massive strength to us. But of course, I can only say so much, it’s down to the club and what they decide. They’ve been here the last couple of days, hopefully, they like it and get used to it. I was only half-joking [about his Instagram post], it’s a bit of both. Like I said there, I know they’re both world-class players. Of course, I don’t know what’s going on with the situation at their clubs but if it was down to me, I’d take them in a heartbeat. They’d help us go on to what we want to achieve.”

The 27-year-old also said the England camp is filled with transfer stories, and it’s difficult to miss them.

“It’s hard not to read it, it’s everywhere. Everyone does read it but I think because of the situation and when this camp is, with people’s contracts running down, there’s much more talk this time. We read what’s going on, we all talk, we’re all really close and we have private conversations.

“You could pick anyone in this squad you’d love to come to your team. The strength and depth we have here, and the players we have are exceptional. Any player that leaves to go to another club next season is only going to make their team better and increase their strength,” Shaw said.
