The Red Devils paid £27m to acquire the 19-year-old left-back from Southampton, agreeing to pay him a salary of £160,000-per-week, while the Blues pulled out of any prospective deal after learning of the teenager's demands.

Mourinho instead signed Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid in a £16m deal and took abstract on united on friday, telling reporters: "To pay a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, for Luke Shaw, we are dead.

"We would have killed our stability with financial fair play, and killed the stability in our dressing room."

Van Gaal, however, refused to bite back in public, instead revealing that he will speak with the Chelsea boss in private.
