Man Utd delay contract decisions over two key players who must win Erik ten Hag’s approval

Manchester United will hold fire on giving new contracts to Luke Shaw and Fred until Erik ten Hag gives his seal of approval.

Shaw’s current contract expires in 2023 with the Red devils holding the option to extend that by another year.




The England international has endured a disappointing season at Old Trafford that came to an end through injury in early April.

While the England defender is said to be open to signing a new contract, United are in no rush to agree fresh terms.




The club will instead allow ten Hag to form his own opinion on the player and decide whether or not he will be part of his long-term plans at Old Trafford, according to The Sun.

Shaw joined United from Southampton in a deal worth £32m in 2014. After overcoming serious injury, he struggled to win over Jose Mourinho before having more success under Solskjaer, enjoying his best campaign to date last season.

Like most of the United team however, Shaw has struggled this term. And the report suggests United will adopt a similar approach with Fred over his future at Old Trafford.

Like Shaw, he has just a year left on his current deal with the option of another 12 months but the club would be more willing to listen to offers for the former Shakhtar Donetsk star at the right price.




While major changes are expected this summer, ten Hag is reported to be keen to work with Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Elanga and Scott McTominay and improve their fortunes in training.
