MANCHESTER, England -- England defender Luke Shaw became the worlds most expensive teenage player on Friday and Manchester Uniteds second signing in 24
hours following its worst English Premier League campaign.
Gabriel
Landeskog Jersey . The 18-year-old left back joined United from
Southampton, reportedly for more than 27 million pounds ($46 million), straight
after returning from his first World Cup with England. Southampton confirmed the
deal made Shaw "the most expensive teenager ever," which would eclipse fees of
around 26 million pounds ($44 million) that saw Wayne Rooney join Manchester
United in 2004 and Marquinhos sign for Paris Saint-Germain last year. Shaw
signed a four-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year if he
continues to develop as one of the most exciting youngsters in football. "I want
to continue to progress my career and joining United is the ideal place for me
to do that," Shaw said in a statement. Louis van Gaal doesnt officially take
charge at United until his World Cup campaign as Netherlands manager is over,
but players are being signed ready for the Dutchmans arrival. United paid around
$50 million for Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera the day before Shaws arrival.
The record 20-time English champions are spending early in the summer transfer
window after dithering last year in the post-Alex Ferguson era led to an
alarming, and costly, slump on the pitch. David Moyes was fired just before the
season ended with United going from 2013 champions to seventh-place finishers
last month. Uniteds management has convinced Shaw to join them despite the lack
of Champions League football next season. Having already made 67 first-team
appearances at Southampton, Shaw will be hoping he isnt just the backup to
33-year-old Patrice Evra at left back. "Luke is a very talented young left back
with great potential," assistant manager Ryan Giggs said. "He has developed
immensely during his time at Southampton." Shaw usurped Ashley Cole as backup to
Leighton Baines in the England World Cup squad, leading to the Chelsea veterans
international retirement. Shaw, who made his international debut only in March,
won his third cap in Tuesdays 0-0 draw with Costa Rica before Englands early
exit from Brazil. Shaw is the latest departure from Southampton since the
south-coast club achieved its highest-ever Premier League points tally to finish
eighth in May. Manager Mauricio Pochettino left for Tottenham, striker Rickie
Lambert joined Liverpool, and midfielder Adam Lallana is also set for a move to
Anfield.

world-class field even without being part of any tour, will move in December
2014 to Isleworth, the course where he honed his professional game from 1996
until moving away to south Florida two years ago.

had no points in those appearances. The 24-year-old has seven goals and 17
assists in 132 career NHL games, all coming with the Lightning. He was selected
in the second round, 47th overall, of the 2007 draft.

system, umpires got it right.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Ted Thompson is happy to have
Julius Peppers in the fold. But the Packers general manager insisted Thursday
that landing the eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end from the rival Chicago Bears
wont have an effect on what Green Bay does with its nine selections in next
weeks NFL draft. In his first public comments since Peppers surprising signing
on March 15, Thompson said he believes the 34-year-old lineman has plenty left
in the tank and that he expects him to have an impact on the Packers up-and-down
defence. "Theres no evidence of any decline in his play, in our opinion,"
Thompson said Thursday. "He still has the same athletic traits that he had
coming out (of college). Hes had a remarkable history in the NFL in terms of
durability. Were looking forward to it. I think he is, too." The 6-foot-7,
287-pound Peppers certainly has been durable, playing in 186 of a possible 192
games. Hes also been productive, registering the second-most sacks (118.5) in
the NFL and forcing the fifth-most fumbles (39) since he entered the league. He
leads all NFL defensive linemen with nine interceptions over that span. But
playing 855 snaps for the Bears last season, Peppers managed only 7.5 sacks, the
third-lowest total of his 12-year NFL career. The Packers envision him as a
hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker in their 3-4 defence, and their hope is
that by playing him fewer snaps, they will not only increase his production but
give opposing offences another pass-rushing threat to worry about opposite
four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Clay Matthews. Matthews, who missed six
games last season with a twice-broken thumb, is expected to be fully healthy for
training camp. "When I view him as a football player, hes an individual youd
like to create targeting problems," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of Peppers
in March. "He has the ability to pplay from the two-point stance, has the
ability to play on the move.
Rene Robert
Jersey. " In 10 career games against the Packers with Carolina and
Chicago, Peppers has recorded 9.5 sacks, his fourth-highest total against a
specific opponent. The Packers finished tied for eighth in the 32-team NFL last
season in sacks with 44 despite Matthews absence. Their hope is that Peppers,
who reported for the first day of the off-season program last week, will have an
impact on more than just that one category. Last season, the Packers finished
tied for 24th in scoring defence (26.8 points per game), 25th in yards allowed
(372.3), 25th in rushing yards allowed (125.0), 24th in passing yards allowed
(247.3) and tied for 20th in takeaways (22). "Its fun to see Julius. Hes a
specimen. He looks great," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said last week.
"Itll be fun to get him really into the fold and get him feeling like hes part
of the team, encouraging him to be a leader for us. I think he brings a lot to
the table -- on the field and in the locker room. Im just excited about not
having to run away from him anymore." As hopeful as the Packers are of Peppers
contributions, Thompson insisted that he wont approach the No. 21 overall pick -
or any of his other picks - differently with Peppers on board. "We talked about
this before. I might sound like a broken record, but we feel that the draft is a
long-term investment," said Thompson, whose teams most immediate needs appear to
be at safety, linebacker, tight end, offensive line and cornerback. "We dont get
too carried away with what our perceived needs are at the moment. We think thats
good business. If you can marry those things up thats fine but if you stretch to
try to fill quote unquote need somewhere then you end up messing up a couple of
spots, so we try to stick to the best player available."
