Shaw admits telling England pals Kane, Rice about 'how good Man Utd is'

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw admits he's been working on England teammates Harry Kane and Declan Rice about a move to Old Trafford.

Tottenham striker Kane and West Ham midfielder Rice are both transfer targets for United this summer.

"I would love a few of them to join - I am not going to lie," said United defender Shaw, 27.

"I am speaking to them, telling them how good Manchester is, because I know their qualities.

"I know they are world-class players and they would be a massive help to us but I can only say so much. It is up to the club and whatever they decide, so we have to go from there.

"It is not normally discussed but, because of the time of the season and what is going on, there is a lot of talk, a lot of banter."

Shaw has posted pictures on social media of him beside Kane, 29, and Rice, 24, with the caption "Carrington tour". England are using United's facilities before Monday's Euro qualifier against North Macedonua.

"I was half joking, it is a bit of both," said Shaw. "But if it was down to me, I would take them in a heartbeat.

"Hopefully they like it and can get used to it," he joked.
