MUFC Transfer IN-activity - Luke Shaw Signing Before World Cup?

First things first, if United do sign Luke Shaw for £30-million and agree to pay him £100,000 per week, he better hit the ground running when the new season begins.  And dribbling, and crossing, and scoring, and defending.  Oh yeah, defending!  Don't forget about that.

That is quite a pricey acquisition for the youngster.

That being said, I sure would like him to be a Manchester United player before boarding that airplane for Brazil. No competitive games will be played this summer, but the Red Devils needs some wins off the field in the form of big player signings.  It will surely boost supporters spirits, however, I want to point out that Louis van Gaal should improve the performances of the current squad, so I don't think we need to replace every single player.

According to multiple reports, United are in top gear to get this done as soon as possible.
