The England coach was at Old Trafford on Monday night to run the rule over several stars during United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham.

Starsport understands Southgate was impressed with Shaw, who was one of the few United players to emerge with some credit from the crushing defeat.

The Three Lions boss names his 23-man squad tomorrow for next month’s home games with Spain and Switzerland.

It is understood he is considering picking Shaw as he looks to build on the stunning success of reaching the semi finals of the World Cup in Russia this summer.

An international recall would represent a personal triumph for the 23-year-old who has found himself in the international wilderness while he has struggled to establish himself at Old Traffford.

He was named in England’s 2014 World Cup squad at the expense of Ashley Cole, but despite lining in the final group game against Costa Rica he has made just seven international appearances since 2014.

United boss Jose Mourinho says Shaw is producing some of his best form since joining the club and singled him out for praise in the wake of the loss to Spurs.

He said: “I was particularly pleased. I told him you cannot play better than you did so of course, be upset with the result, the kid has to be.

“But the kid has to know that he has had three very good matches in the Premier League. I am very happy with him.”
