Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will let exiled defender Luke Shaw go out on loan in January
The Special One will consider short-term move if desirable offers come in
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is open to letting Luke Shaw leave on loan in January.
The England full-back has fallen out with the United boss, and is not in his first-team plans for the rest of the season.
It is thought the pair are not on speaking terms, and Shaw wants to leave Old Trafford when the window opens.
The Red Devils are thought to be happy for him to go for the remainder of the campaign, before selling him permanently next summer.
The 22-year-old is wanted by a number of Premier League sides, while others across Europe are also keeping tabs on his situation.
An Old Trafford source said: “It looks like Luke will be allowed to leave in January on loan if the right offer comes in.

“He has been on the bench a few times recently but his injury problems are a concern. Marcus Rojo is back soon and Jose is considering his options.
“A couple of Premier League clubs asked about him in the summer, but he was still injured. He has been working hard in training.
“It has been difficult for him as he is trying his hardest but has had no luck over the past couple of years, at all.”
United face taking a huge financial hit on Shaw after signing him from Southampton back in the summer of 2014.
It is thought Mourinho will let him leave on loan to get game-time and put himself in the shop window.
Shaw has also not given up his dream of playing in the 2018 Russia World Cup for England, if he can get match-fit.
He has made just 32 Premier League appearances for United in the last three years, after making nearly double that for Saints in the same period.
