SHAW'S SPANISH REDEMPTION?

Barcelona are apparently targeting Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw as their main defensive cover this summer.

Jose Mourinho's ongoing criticism is further proof of a fallout between Shaw and the United manager, and Barca believe they can prise him away from his nightmare at Old Trafford to Camp Nou on a season-long loan.

The January capture of Philippe Coutinho for £105 million leaves Barca a bit low on funds, leaving the Spanish club to assess other options in the transfer market this summer, believing they can bring in players on loan to cut down on costs, with Shaw as their major target.
