Luke Shaw ready to quit Man Utd with injury-hit star offered mega-money swansong in Saudi Arabia
England left-back Shaw, 30, is aware of serious interest from Saudi clubs and is ready to listen to offers.

He still has two years left on his Old Trafford contract but fears his Red Devils career might be nearing an end.
Shaw made just 12 appearances last season after missing the first three months with a prolonged calf problem and is facing limited opportunities.
He did start May's 1-0 Europa League final defeat to Tottenham but in a back-three due to a shortage of centre-backs.
Shaw is likely to be behind Patrick Dorgu in the left-back pecking order and Ruben Amorim also has high hopes for new boy Diego Leon who has signed for £3.3m from Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno.
The physically imposing 18 year old played the first half of last weekend's 0-0 friendly draw with Leeds in Sweden and the Amorim said: 'He did really well.
'He's learning things, he's powerful, he's going to be a very good player.'
Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot has been a regular starter a left wing back in the United chief's favoured 3-4-2-1 system.
Shaw is in the United squad that begin their pre-season tour of the USA with a clash against West Ham on Sunday - and also featured against Leeds - but knows he is liable to be making up the numbers once the Prem kicks off next month.

His United career began in heartbreak with a double leg break due against PSV in only his eighth game back in September 2015.
Shaw later revealed that surgeons considered amputation due to blood clots discovered in the after-math of the injury.

That cost him eleven months on the sidelines and began a nightmare run of problems that has seen him miss almost FIVE YEARS of his United and England career.
Shaw is seen as a popular and influential figure within the dressing room and Amorim is in no hurry to dump him or his £150,000 a week wages.
But the player himself is determined to make up for so much lost time and knows he faces a tough decision on his future over the coming months.
Should he decide to leave it is unlikely United would be difficult to deal with in terms of a fee considering all those injuries and his lack of appearances - only 27 in the last two campaigns.
Amorim, meanwhile, is not prepared to break the bank for a new No 9.
Fans hoped Alexander Isak's decision to tell Newcastle he wants out of St James' Park might encourage United to bid.
But with United's spending on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo topping £130m this summer, the club are not in a position to go large unless there are significant exits.
SunSport revealed Chelsea's Senegal star Nicolas Jackson was eyeing Old Trafford as a potential destination, but the Blues want £80m for him.
But United are in no position to push the boat out - opening the door for under-pressure Rasmus Hojlund to stake his claim during the three-match Premier League Summer Series tournament against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton.
On Thursday night Aston Villa moved to dismiss reports United had proposed an audacious swap deal, offering rebel Alejandro Garnacho in return for England striker Ollie Watkins.

Eagle-eyed fans left stunned at where England keeper Hannah Hampton kept her penalty ‘cheat sheet' before stunning win
ENGLAND fans were left stunned after spotting where goalkeeper Hannah Hampton kept her penalty 'cheat sheet'. The 24-year-old saved two penalties in the shootout to help the Lionesses to Euro 2025 glory against Spain. 4 4 The two teams were tied 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra-time meaning the dreaded spot-kicks were the only way to separate them. Before the women stepped up for their date with destiny, Hampton was spotted near the dugout in conversation with the coaching staff. And there on her forearm was a sticker that had the top tips on how to deny the opposition penalty takers. Many goalkeepers keep such notes on their water bottle but with the obvious danger of it being taken - there was no way Hampton was risking that. And it worked with the Chelsea keeper denying Mariona Caldentey and then Aitana Bonmati. Chloe Kelly proved the hero as she scored the winning penalty to bag the silverware. One fan wrote: "That's some serious preparation! Confidence is key in those moments." Another posted: "We're going up a level with dark arts." 4 4 And one wrote: "Notes on Hampton's arm will go down in folklore if she wins this final." And win it she did. But there was drama all the way. Mead slipped, kicking the ball twice as she scored and had to retake the opener, which was then saved. Alex Greenwood and Niamh Charles finished theirs with a clinical touch before skipper Williamson saw hers saved. The Spaniards had wasted their chances to win this all night and, having gone ahead in the shootout, never scored again. And it was left to the ever-popular Kelly to win it with a hop, step and jump to send the crowd into raptures and cement Wiegman's legendary status. England led for a single minute in the knockouts and are champions.
