Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw have told Southampton they want to leave. The Daily Echo says they both look set to remain as Saints players going into the World Cup with the club resisting their desire to be sold.
Lallana is the subject of a 'take it or leave it' £25m bid from Liverpool, while Manchester United have already lodged a £27m approach for Shaw.
Both players are understood to have informed Saints of their wishes to speak with the respective clubs about a switch.
