Manchester United planning to outcast injured star in £35m transfer reshuffle
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly planning for a future without injured left-back Luke Shaw and will seek to sign his replacement this summer.

Shaw, 20, is out for the season with a broken leg sustained back in September.
The former Southampton star cost the Red Devils £27million before the start of the season.
It is claimed they are set to battle Manchester City to sign Juventus full-back Alex Sandro.
United have been linked with the Brazil international for the best part of a week now and there are claims he would cost around £35m.
But Shaw's place had not previously been brought into question, with reports suggesting the duo would at least compete for the left-back spot.
Whether United could sell Shaw for the same price they paid for him is uncertain, with clubs unlikely to be willing to spend big on a player coming back from such a long lay-off.
