Come October, it will have been 10 years since Luke Shaw first played at Old Trafford in an imposing Southampton side that was broken up quicker than it was put together.
The ninth anniversary of Shaw's move to United is in June and when Phil Jones's contract is shredded three days later, Shaw will officially be United's longest-serving outfield player.
He has played under five managers and Sir Alex Ferguson's heir, David Moyes, initiated the process to sign Shaw before his Easter Monday burial in 2014.
