Manchester United are ready to welcome back Luke Shaw.

The Sun says Shaw will be given the chance to prove he is the future of Manchester United.

The England left-back's absence since November has been put down to niggling injuries.

Boss Jose Mourinho had hinted Shaw, 21, pulled out on the eve of a 3-1 win at Swansea on November 6.

But United made it clear the ex-Southampton ace is in their plans despite Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian playing in his position recently.

It is understood Mourinho will not look for a left-back in this transfer window, which is likely to lead to Shaw being given game time.
