Shaw Getting Set For United Season 3

ManUtd.com announced the signing of Luke Shaw from Southampton on this day two years ago - and the left-back is currently working hard ahead of his third season at Manchester United.

Shaw's exciting start to life with the Reds was curtailed early in his second campaign, of course, when he suffered a leg fracture in Eindhoven last September and he's been on a long rehabilitation road ever since. But last week the England international posted a brief update on Instagram, captioning a photo of himself leaving the Aon Training Complex with the words: "Training done for the day. Building up to pre-season now."

Back in 2014, Shaw declared he was "thrilled and excited to be joining Manchester United", adding: "I want to continue to progress my career and joining United is the ideal place for me to do that. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life and also looking forward to learning from the world-class players and management at the club."

Quoted in the club's press release, assistant-manager Ryan Giggs enthused: "Luke is a very talented young left-back with great potential. He has developed immensely during his time at Southampton and has all the attributes to become a top player. I am delighted he has joined Manchester United as I believe this is the right club for him to continue his development as a young player and eventually fulfil that promise."

Here's wishing Luke a successful return to action.
