10 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Luke Shaw

7. He's So Young He Does't Even Have A Driving Licence

That's not because he can't afford one - his earnings make him one of the world's most envied teenagers. It's because he hasn't yet passed his driving test. It's moments like this when you remember just how young Shaw is. Still only 18, the fullback was still living with his parents up until the end of last season before heading to Brazil for the World Cup. And after getting a pad of his own, his next ambition is to hit the road. Shaw is reportedly planning to take a week-long, intensive driving course now that his World Cup commitments are over in an effort to finally get his licence. Shaw is making his transition from teenager to adult at Manchester United and fans will hope he can help turn around the club's fortunes after a car crash of a season under David Moyes.
