Jose Mourinho's public criticism of Luke Shaw has been a constant talking point this season. Matt Le Tissier said the Manchester United boss is "destroying" the left-back, former captain Gary Neville says it is serving as a distraction from the club's disappointments, while a source close to Shaw told Sky Sports News Mourinho's treatment of Shaw is "an absolute disgrace".
This has led Shaw to consider his future this summer, and the 23-year-old - who has one year left on his current deal - is favoured to join Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham, with whom he featured under at Southampton
