Luke Shaw has revealed that he spoke to Morgan Schneiderlin about Manchester United before the midfielder joined. The pair of them had been at Southampton for several years together, with Schneiderlin signing for them in 2008, and Shaw having been in the academy since 2003.

Obviously with Morgan I know him really well from Southampton and it is nice to see him here. We are a good bunch of lads here and we welcome people really easily, so I hope they are enjoying it and looking forward to the games too. Of course I spoke to him about the club beforehand, but every player knows what Manchester United is about. I made sure I told him everything about it and how much he would love it. I think he has made the right decision to come to Manchester United and I am sure he will prove everything right.
