Luke Shaw's future at Manchester United has been in doubt for some time, and the former Southampton left-back has once again fueled rumours of a move away from Old Trafford, this week.
In Guillem Balague's new book Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs', the Manchester United defender writes about his relationship with Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.
He claims that Pochettino 'really wants me to play under him again'. The 22-year-old even goes on to say that he hopes 'I can play for him one day."
This comes just days after Mourinho decided to give Shaw five minutes against Swansea in the League Cup.

Rumours of a move away from Old Trafford have been rife in recent weeks, but these latest comments have sparked further speculation about his immediate future at Manchester United.
Here's what Shaw wrote in Balague's new book Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs:

'He (Pochettino) used to call me his son. That's how good our relationship was. I've had lots of ups and downs, but when I was with Pochettino it was only ever up, up, up.
'He made me feel that I was the best. He'd show me clips of my games and say, "You could do this better". Not in a horrible way. Not I could have done better, but I should have done better, because he knows I can be better.
'I think with Southampton he achieved the impossible. We were one of the best footballing teams in the league... I do hope that I can play for him again one day. And I think he really wants me to play under him again.'
Shaw was arguably Manchester United's best player under Louis van Gaal before he picked up a serious leg injury in September 2015, but since that horrific incident two years ago, the 22-year-old has struggled to maintain a place in the starting line-up.
