Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw is backing the club to compete on all fronts next season and win major trophies after a winning first season under the new boss.

The Red Devils ended their six-year trophy drought in Erik Ten Hag’s first season beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

Ten Hag has also guided the team to the FA Cup final, where they will face city rivals, Manchester City, on June 3 at the same venue they beat Eddie Howe’s Newcastle.

Shaw sets target for United

Full-back Luke Shaw is impressed with the team’s progress this season and believes with new signings this summer; they will be a force to reckon with.

“With the direction this manager is going under, I’m sure we’re going to make new signings, big signings this summer. Hopefully, we can get them done as quickly as possible so they’re in for pre-season,” he told Sky Sports via Football Daily.

The taste of winning is sweet and makes you want more, so Shaw is looking ahead to winning more and setting high targets for the team next season.

“Our aim for next season has to be winning the Premier League and the Champions League. That’s how we have to think from now on,” he added.

As reported by Man Utd's official website, the former Southampton forward is one of the players whom the Dutch boss has shown faith in by sanctioning a new four-year contract for him.

Shaw gives United options

Sports Brief reported that Shaw gives Ten Hag options in defence with his ability to play as centre-back, a position he has appeared in quite often this season.

His versatility has posed problems for club captain Harry Maguire who has been dropped to the bench, with the 27-year-old getting the nod ahead of him in case of injuries to first-choice centre-backs.
