Luke Shaw has become the most expensive teenage footballer in history after he completed his £27million move to Manchester United. Shaw, 18, passed a medical at the club's Carrington training ground on Thursday evening and the following day signed a four-year contract, with the option of another year.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Luke Shaw from Southampton Football Club," a United statement read. Shaw established himself as one of the hottest prospects in world football after coming through Southampton's fabled academy, attracting admiring glances from many, including boyhood club Chelsea.

Despite not turning 19 until July 12, the left-back has already racked up 67 appearances for Saints and three England caps - including starting against Costa Rica at the 2014 FIFA World Cup™. The defender now hopes his career can blossom at Old Trafford alongside the likes of Rooney, Robin van Persie and Juan Mata.

"I am thrilled and excited to be joining Manchester United," Shaw said. I have been at Southampton since I was 8 years old and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything they have done for me. 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."

United assistant manager Ryan Giggs is delighted the club has signed one of the best prospects in English football only one day after the Red Devils acquired Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao.

"Luke is a very talented young left-back with great potential," said Giggs, who will work under new manager Louis van Gaal next season. "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."
