Shaw shares joke with Mount

Man Utd is seen as his potential destination if he moves and has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Red Devils, as 90min reports, with an agreement between the two clubs the only impediment.

United defender Shaw admits the news around the potential move is something he shares as a joke with his England national teammate.

“Obviously, Mason, he is not here. It’s all just a bit of a banter really; we have a bit of a joke and laugh about it,” he told Sky Sports via Sportskeeda.

“I am not too sure what goes on obviously behind the scenes. It’s up to deal with the club. But, of course, when we are here, we are always together. We have a joke about it. But, like I said, we don’t know too much about what’s going on.”

Arsenal are also interested but aware that United is his preferred destination and have gone for his attack partner Kai Havertz.
