Luke Shaw has revealed the 'good mood' in the Manchester United dressing room at Wembley after the players heard the news of Paul Pogba's imminent return.

United announced they had agreed an £89m deal with Juventus for the French midfielder an hour before the Community Shield was due to kick-off. The 23-year-old is set to arrive in Manchester on Monday before his official unveiling later this week.

And Shaw admitted the news added to the excitement in the dressing room ahead of the clash with Leicester.

He told MUTV: "After seeing that there was a good mood around the squad.

"It is another player to fit in our strong squad. There will be people fighting for places now and that’s what you need at a top club like Man United to push us all on to win more trophies like today."
