Shaw, Herrera to make United debuts in US

Will be accompanied by Rooney, De Gea, Kagawa, Mata.

LOS ANGELES: Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera will make their debuts for Manchester United during the English Premier League team’s pre-season tour of the US in July.

They will be joined on the cross-country trek by some of United’s World Cup players, including Wayne Rooney (England), David De Gea (Spain), Shinji Kagawa (Japan) and Juan Mata (Spain).

England full-back Shaw, who turns 19 on Saturday, joined United from Premier League rivals Southampton last month. Herrera joined from Athletic Bilbao, also in June.

“We’re delighted to have such a strong travelling squad for our pre-season tour to the US,” said assistant manager Ryan Giggs.

The team departs for the tour on July 18 with the first match against Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy five days later.
