Louis van Gaal successfully made Shaw his second summer signing after Ander Herrera who signed yesterday. The fee is believed to be around £30million for Shaw.
United made two signings in two days and now looks set to land their third signing.
After the signature, Shaw added that he is very happy on his move to Old Trafford and mentioned United as an ideal place.
United legend and assistant manager Ryan Giggs said: “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.”
Shaw will probably be replacing Patrice Evra who might be returning to France this summer after playing nine seasons at United.

Which one is better? Shaw is young and will improve in the future while Evra was definitely a brilliant left back of his time but now he is 33-year-old and he might leave this summer as he is well aware of his future at Old Trafford.
