Jose mourinho while he was chelsea boss in 2014,questioned the amount (£30million) Manchester United paid for the then 19 year old left back.

MOURINHO ON HIGH WAGES

“If we pay to a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, for Luke Shaw, we are dead,”

“We kill our stability with Financial Fair Play. We kill the stability in our dressing room.”

“Because when you pay that much to a 19-year-old kid — a good player, a fantastic player — the next day we get players knocking on our door and saying how is it possible that I play for this club 200 games and won this and that?”-Jose Mourinho 2014

Luke Shaw in an interview had this to say;

“We spoke about it. He said it to me at first. I was just going to leave it, but he had a joke about it. There are no hard feelings.”

“I just thought that I had a better chance of playing at United (than at Chelsea). Patrice Evra was leaving (United), whereas Chelsea had a solid back four that I knew Jose liked.”

“So even though Chelsea were much closer to my home, I felt United were the better choice. I was never focused on the money. It was about football.”

Luke Shaw has started strongly this season after recovering from a double leg fracture. He has also earned an England recall from new boss Sam Allardyce.
