It has been reported that Manchester United have left their bid on the table for Southampton fullback Luke Shaw.
The Daily Echo claims that United are expected to step up their attempts to secure a pre-World Cup deal for Shaw after confirming Louis van Gaal as their new manager.
It is said that the Saints are bracing themselves for further pressure from the Old Trafford club, who handed over a £25m offer for the 18-year-old left back just hours after the sides drew 1-1 at St Mary’s on the final day of the season.
There is believed to have been no formal response to the bid with Saints keen to try and leave things to settle while waiting for manager Mauricio Pochettino to decide his future.
