Don't they have the unilateral right to extend many of those by a year at existing rates?

Some of them, I'm sure.
It comes down to which run out in 2019, and which are 2020.
The 2019 are sign or sell or lose.
2020 are slightly less critical just now.

I assume several - Valencia and Young surely if they don't fall apart, maybe one of the centrehalves - will get another year simply because if they have to buy, it's better for the accounts to spread 10 top signings over 4 years than try cramming them all in 2 years. A bit like City did with Toure. Did we also do the same with Clichy?
 
Bit like Raheem Sterling, eh ;)

Raheem is actually a very good player though. Shaw is a midtable attacking fullback with poor defensive skills and not overly good attacking skills.

For me it would be like giving Bertrand £150k plus a week.
 
Played a few average games and gets five year contract on 190,000 a week.....just mind boggling. Very poor defensively and will get destroyed by the better teams. What the hell is going on at Utd......long may it continue.... haha!!.

Harsh on Bertrand, when he was 23 he was an obvious athlete, you wouldn't worry about his condition in 5 years (as has proven true as he's still in great nick 6 years later). Shaw on the other hand is a natural lard arse, like Rooney, Tevez, and various others. He will have to work his arse off to stay at a high level for any amount of time and you'd imagine he'd peak early like people of that build usually do, his injury probably took away the best years of his career. 5 years of him at that price is a hell of a risk
 
BBC reporting that Mourinho is delighted that Luke Shaw has signed a new contract .

The hypocrisy of everything and everybody at the cesspit never ceases to amaze.
