The Southampton boss, who could also leave the south coast club, insists the England international is unlikely to leave despite interest from the pair and Manchester City

Southampton left-back Luke Shaw will remain at the club beyond the end of this season, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Goal understand that Manchester City are readying a £30 million bid for the England international, while Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs have also registered strong interest in the player.

Pochettino insists a decision on Shaw would be made by the club, but he expects his full-back to stay at Southampton.

“At the end of the day, Luke Shaw is a player that belongs to Southampton, and it will be the club that makes the decision as to what happens with his future,” he told reporters.

“Of course there will be interest for him, but right now he’s a player at Southampton and it looks as though it will continue that way.

“There are a lot of players who are under interest, but they are all very happy at the football club, and most of them are under long-term contracts.

“They understand the situation of what it means to be a professional player in the Premier League.

“There’s nothing really we have to speak about on that front. If there is any decision to be made, it is for the owners, not for me.”

The Spaniard gives his backing to the former Everton coach while also revealing that, when signing for the club, he was given assurances that several other players would be bought

Manchester United’s club-record signing, Juan Mata, has defended under-fire boss David Moyes and insisted that the Scot has the full backing of the squad.

The reigning Premier League champions have put up a limp defence of their title, lying in seventh place with five games left to play and almost certain to miss out on qualification for the Champions League.

But Mata, who moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea in January, argues that the Red Devils’ problems should not be solely blamed on Moyes’s struggles to adapt in his first season in charge and is keen for everyone associated with the club to remain united.

“We have to be together,” the Spain international told the Daily Mirror. “Now is not the time to blame anyone. Now is not the time to look for guilty people.

“Now is the time to stick together – with the manager, with his staff, the players and with the people on the board of the club. We need to carry on, to stay with the manager. We need to believe in him because, as players, we know we have to improve.

“It’s not just the manager, it’s not just the tactics. It’s all of us. It’s not the time to blame one person. We are all together in this.

“Some of my friends told me, if this situation was happening in another club in Spain, it would be different but the club and the players are behind the manager.

“We need to be strong as a team, as a dressing-room, and keep working hard. We need to improve, we know it, but we need to do it together.”

Goal revealed on Wednesday that Moyes had travelled to Portugal to watch Porto take on Benfica and assessed a number of scouting targets, including Jackson Martinez, and Mata has now revealed that, when discussing the move to United, he was told that the club would make significant moves in the transfer market as they look to rebuild the side.

“When I joined, in all my conversations with the board and the manager about next season, they were confident about getting the right players,” the attacker recalled.

“They know, and I know, we’re in a transitional moment but, in the summer, they’re going to try to sign a few players and I have the faith they are going to bring top players in.

“I’m sure this club is going to come back and fight for every trophy. Since I was a kid, Manchester United was fighting for everything and this moment is going to come back for sure.”

The German’s representative has admitted that he has already been contacted by several interested parties but insists that the Biancocelesti “have priority over all others”

Miroslav Klose has been in talks with several clubs about a move away from Lazio, his agent has revealed.

The 35-year-old’s contract at Stadio Olimpico expires in the summer and with an extension yet to be agreed, the Germany international has been considering all of his options.

“With Lazio, both in the past and in this recent period, we have had several talks,” Klose’s representative, Alexander Schutt, told Lazionews.eu.

“Currently there is still nothing signed. I do not deny that we are also in talks with other clubs, but Lazio will always have priority over all others.”

Whilst there is uncertainty over Klose’s future at Lazio, team-mate Andre Dias has dismissed rumours that he is angling for a move away from the Italian capital.

“My family is happy in Rome,” the 34-year-old told Lalaziosiamonoi.it. “It is not true that I’m waiting for proposals from Brazil or that I want to go to a another Italian club.

“I’d love to stay at Lazio and finish my career here as a player.”
