Luke Shaw reveals clear-the-air talks with Jose Mourinho

Luke Shaw insists that there are "no hard feelings" between himself and Jose Mourinho, having previously been accused of joining Man United over Chelsea for the money.

Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw has admitted that he held talks with manager Jose Mourinho this summer after rejecting a chance to play under the Portuguese at Chelsea in 2014.

The 53-year-old suggested following the snub three years ago that Shaw's wages would have disrupted the Stamford Bridge dressing room, claiming that no youngster is worth the money United handed over.

Shaw insists that there are "no hard feelings" between the two, however, having played a key part in the Red Devils' winning start to the season after fully recovering from a broken leg.

"We spoke about it. He said it to me at first. I was just going to leave it, but he had a joke about it. There are no hard feelings," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I just thought that I had a better chance of playing at United [than at Chelsea]. Patrice Evra was leaving [United], whereas Chelsea had a solid back four that I knew Jose liked.

"So even though Chelsea were much closer to my home, I felt United were the better choice. I was never focused on the money. It was about football."

Shaw made eight appearances for United last season before picking up a long-term injury in the Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven 12 months ago.
