Luke Shaw sent a beautiful letter to a Manchester United fan on the birth of his son - which came just months after the tragic death of his young daughter.
Steve de Korte - who is a United fan - and his wife sadly lost their daughter Ava six weeks after she was born prematurely. Just over a year later, they were delighted to share news of the birth of their son Luke - something which United were made aware of following a hugely difficult year for the family.
Steve, from Co Tipperary in Ireland, shared a picture of a brilliant letter sent from Red Devils left back Shaw on the birth of his child, mentioning his daughter and insisting it was great to see the new baby already wearing the club's kit:
@LukeShaw23 thanks so much for your awesome letter , you are an absolute legend m8 #Lukeisared @FullTimeDEVILS 🔴⚪️⚫️

It's a great gesture from Shaw and United at what must be an emotional time for the de Korte family.
