Manchester United are determined to beat rivals Arsenal and Chelsea to the signature of highly-rated Southampton teenager Luke Shaw, according to Goal.

The 18-year-old has become one of the hottest properties in the UK after breaking into the Saints first team aged just 16 and he’s gone on to become a regular at St Mary’s over the past 12 months as well as earn his first caps for the England Under-21’s squad.

His form has alerted some of the Premier League’s big-guns with reports claiming that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all shown a keen interest in the youngster in recent months.

However, it’s the champions who appear determined to land the exciting left-back with Goal suggesting David Moyes wants to bring Shaw to Old Trafford as the long-term replacement for 32-year-old Patrice Evra following his failed attempt to land Leighton Baines from Everton in the summer.

Shaw signed a new five-year deal in July but the report claims this will simply ensure that Southampton will be able to demand a sizeable fee when they eventually sell – with the player now valued at around £12m – and United are understood to be confident they can beat Arsenal and Chelsea to secure an early deal ahead of a switch next summer.

Southampton have an excellent track record for producing star players with the likes of Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all coming through their youth ranks in recent years before going on to make big-money moves, and it seems Shaw could be next to join that distinguished list.
