So we now have an article stating Shaw will consider leaving in the summer if he doesn't play regularly between now and the end of the season.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more discussion of the scenario in which Mourinho is prepared to give Shaw another season, in case he can discover some form, but Shaw is unwilling to risk another season with minimal playing time.
1. Mourinho wants Shaw to stay and Shaw is prepared to give it another season. United use the 1 year option on Shaw's contract to retain some value, in case of sale in a year's time.
2. Mourinho prepared to sell Shaw and Shaw totally fed up with lack of playing time so happy to leave.
3. Mourinho prepared to sell Shaw but Shaw determined to stay at United until end of contract as he thinks this is his best chance of playing for a top club.
4. Mourinho happy for Shaw to stay but Shaw wants to leave. A decent offer and he'll leave. Just possible they might agree a one year loan but that's problematic with his contract situation.
I'd suggest all these scenarios are possible. At the moment, none strike me as being much more likely than the others. There may be other scenarios that I haven't considered. I suppose Shaw could get in the team soon, play brilliantly, and be considered an automatic first choice selection; that seemed far more likely one month ago than it does today.
