Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is the "best left full-back in the UK."

That is according to his manager Erik ten Hag, who lavished praise on Shaw this week.

The England defender has signed a new contract to keep him at United until the summer of 2027.

"[He's had a] great, great season so far," ten Hag told club media.

"[He's made] great progress, so I think it's really good news for Manchester United that he stays playing for Manchester United.

"I think it tells everything, he's the best left full-back in the UK. You see it also in the England team, he is performing so well there as well.

"So we are really happy that he extended his contract and that he stays longer with us and is going with us in this project and in this journey.

"We have high ambitions and we need Luke Shaw to fulfill those ambitions."
