Luke Shaw wants to stay at Manchester United and fight for his place in the team, Mirror Sport understands.
The former Southampton full-back has endured a nightmare year at Old Trafford, playing just nine times in all competitions in 2017 and just three times this season.
Manager Jose Mourinho has regularly aired his frustrations with Shaw, but relations between the pair have improved in recent weeks.
Shaw played the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow last week, and was named in the matchday squad for Sunday's Manchester derby .

And the seven-times capped England international is now ready to stay and challenge Ashley Young for a first-team place before reviewing his position again in the summer, with Mourinho now believed to be happier to pick him in the side over the coming weeks.
Having blanked him earlier in the season, the Portuguese boss is now on speaking terms with Shaw again, and has sensed an improvement in the player's attitude.
Shaw signed a four-year deal when he joined United from Southampton in June 2014, although United used an option to extend it by a further 12 months earlier this season.
