Man United transfers: Luke Shaw laughs off exit talk

Reported Manchester United target Luke Shaw has rejected speculation linking him with a move away from Southampton.

The England Under-21 defender has been touted as a target for the defending champions, with Arsenal and Chelsea also credited with an interest in the player.

However, the left-back has attempted to put an end to the reports about his future by insisting that he has no intention of quitting the high-flying Saints.

“I don’t really take notice of things that are written about me – it is frustrating at times, but I just laugh it off,” said Shaw.

“They [the media] don’t know anything because they aren’t around the training ground and in the dressing room with me.

“They should know that I’ve signed a contract at Southampton and I’m not even thinking about moving.

“I am happy at Southampton because I’m playing football, which is exactly what I want to be doing.”

“There are a lot of people out there that like to twist things – especially on social media – but I’ve said a lot of times that I am happy here, so I’ll just carry on.

“I think people are starting to realise what sort of a club Southampton is. We are young and ambitious, and we want to go places in the next couple of years.”
