Luke Paul Hoare Shaw (born 12 July 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
Originally a member of Southampton's youth system, Shaw made his first-team debut for the club in January 2012. He signed his first professional contract in May that year before becoming a regular in the Southampton team over the next two seasons. In June 2014, Shaw was signed by Manchester United for £30 million, then a world record transfer fee for a teenager.
Shaw made his senior international debut for England in March 2014 in a 1–0 friendly win against Denmark, and later that year was selected in the squad for the FIFA World Cup. He scored his first international goal in the UEFA Euro 2020 Final, which was also the fastest ever scored in a UEFA European Championship final and fifth fastest in the tournament’s history.
As a left-back with a tendency to play attacking football, Shaw has been compared to former Southampton youth product Gareth Bale, with particular focus being placed on his speed, decision-making and defending skills. Former England international and FA Director of Football Development Trevor Brooking has described Shaw as "technically very gifted".<\/P>","7CC3966A9B90B9412F1273E902F0953F":"Southampton,Southampton U21,Southampton U18","FCD4DE51CBA4497A941CDE925DCB26D2":"England","805ACE40479B6E763FB50E182B20A495":"1995-7-12","784E2315886D4158FF9CFFE843FE6B59":"
