Luke Shaw has admitted he has used England’s end-of-season camp as an opportunity to try to convince some of his international teammates their futures at club level lie with him at Manchester United, saying he would take the likes of Harry Kane and Declan Rice at Old Trafford “in a heartbeat”.
Kane and Rice are two of several players in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Euro 24 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia whose futures are under scrutiny this summer. Rice is increasingly likely to leave West Ham while speculation over Kane’s future at Tottenham is again rife. The futures of fellow England internationals such as Jordan Pickford and Mason Mount have also come under discussion.
