'Agent Shaw' in talks with Kane and Rice

LUKE Shaw has been selling United to his England team-mates and says he would take Harry Kane and Declan Rice at Old Trafford ‘in a heartbeat’.

Having continued their winning start to Euro 2024 qualification by beating Malta 4-0 on Friday, Gareth Southgate’s side were preparing at Carrington for last night’s season finale against North Macedonia.

Shaw posted an Instagram story showing pictures of him at the United training base next to Kane and Rice with the caption ‘Carrington tour’ and an eyes emoji.

The lighthearted post comes with the futures of Tottenham striker Kane and West Ham captain Rice among the highest profile of many transfer talking points surrounding this group of England players.

“It is not normally discussed but, because of the time of the season and what is going on, there is a lot of talk, a lot of banter,” Shaw said.

“I would love a few of them to join United – I am not going to lie. I am speaking to them, telling them how good Manchester is because I know their qualities.

“I know they are world-class players and they would be a massive help to us but I can only say so much. It is up to the club and whatever they decide, so we have to go from there.”

Shaw joked ‘hopefully they like it and can get used to it’ at United, who have a long-standing interest in Kane and Rice but are understood to view deals for the duo as highly unlikely.
