It's not quite worked out for Luke Shaw at Manchester United, and now it would seems that the writing is on the wall over his future.

Having struggled to make a real comeback from the horrific injury that threatened his career back in 2015, despite his extra sessions in the gym, he has failed to impress manager Jose Mourinho.

Relations between the pair have become frosty, with the Special One laying into the young England international over the weekend by attacking his apparent commitment to the cause at Old Trafford.

The pair have since met and called a truce, but that is said to be a tentative agreement that will only hold until the end of the season and the re-opening of the transfer window.

And despite that, Shaw is said to be convinced that he has to make a move in the summer thanks to the severity of Mourinho's diatribe.

Because of this, he has ideas over where he may be best suited, and according to a report in The Sun he is hoping that Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will bring him to White Hart Lane.

The Argentinian tactician gave Shaw his debut as an 18-year-old while the pair worked together at Southampton, and Shaw hopes that his old boss will be willing to take a gamble on his signature.

The report claims that Spurs are concerned that Manchester City will make a £50 million play for England full-back Danny Rose over the summer, meaning there will be space in Pochettino's squad for him.

Shaw hasn't featured for the United first team since the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on March 4. Mourinho scalded Shaw that day for talking with a number of Cherries players.

And the manager has since claimed that Shaw is well behind the likes of Marcos Rojo, Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind for a spot in the starting line up.

Since signing for United in 2014, Shaw has made a total of just 43 appearances for the club across all competitions, and there is a feeling that the time has come for him to leave in order to get his career back on track and try and fulfil that enormous potential he'd shown when he broke onto the scene at  Southampton.
