Manchester United are set to resume talks with Southampton on Friday over the transfer of defender Luke Shaw, reports BBC Radio Solent. Saints have already turned down a £27m offer for the 18-year-old left-back. Left-back had been one of the priority areas for David Moyes before he was sacked by United last month. The moves comes a day after Liverpool came close to agreeing a deal with Southampton and England striker Rickie Lambert. Southampton will not stand in the 32-year- olds way if an acceptable offer comes in for him. Lambert and fellow Southampton team-mate Adam Lallana will hope to be involved in Englands World Cup warm-up match with Peru on Friday, but Shaw will miss the game through illness. Lallana has also been linked with a move away from St Marys with Liverpool interested in Southamptons captain. Southampton themselves are searching for a new manager following the departure of boss Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham. Current first-choice Patrice Evra recently signed a new contract but Manchester United are still searching for a long-term replacement in that position. Shaw is preparing for the World Cup with England and is battling Leighton Baines for a starting position in Roy Hodgsons side.
