BUKAYO SAKA was left stunned by Luke Shaw's claim he is a Manchester United fan.

The England left-back even said he could "ask anyone in the squad" and they would agree with him.

Saka was having none of it, though, as the pair enjoyed a light-hearted exchange on the latest episode of the Lions' Den.

Fresh from scoring a stunning equaliser against Switzerland on Saturday, Saka revealed the strike was the most important of his career.

However, he felt another goal was the best he has scored for Arsenal or England.

When asked, he suggested his favourite effort was against United by smiling and looking at Shaw.

He had previously joked about scoring against the Red Devils man earlier in the show.

Saka even burst out laughing as he teased his team-mate, who quipped: "It’s because B supports United, that’s why it’s his favourite…"

In response, Saka protested: "You're lying bro."

Shaw then added: "B, come on, be honest, we can ask anyone in the squad."

Protesting the claim, Saka called on Shaw to "ask Dec" (Rice) in order to get a final answer to their jokey argument.

Saka has scored three goals against United for Arsenal in his career, including a long-range strike into the bottom corner in January 2023.

His goal against Switzerland similarly saw the 22-year-old cut inside onto his left foot before firing the ball in off the post.

The strike levelled the match for the Three Lions, with Saka also converting his penalty during the shootout in a man of the match display.

He has now scored 12 goals in 38 caps for England since making his debut in October 2020.

Meanwhile, Shaw came off the bench to make his first appearance of the tournament after recovering from injury.
