Man Utd star Shaw watches Raducanu’s US Open triumph from poker room inside £2.8m Manchester mansion

MANCHESTER UNITED star Luke Shaw watched Emma Raducanu’s historic US Open win from the poker room in his £2.8million mansion.

The England left-back shared a picture from his plush Cheshire pad and appeared to be waiting for ex-Red Devils defender Wes Brown and pro poker player Sam Trickett.

Shaw’s home is in the exclusive Hale Barns area of Cheshire.

And given his £190,000-a-week wages, the interior is as swanky as you might imagine.

The England left-back was sat at a six-seat poker table staring at one of two televisions in the room which both had the tennis on.

The luxurious marble floor and elaborate light over the table are stand out features.

And the area was complete with a leather sofa in front of the TV and fireplace.

Shaw shared the snap around 10pm – in the early stages of Raducanu’s match – and captioned it: “Tennis on, ready when you are @wes_brown24 @samtrickett7.”

Brown, 41, swiftly replied: “K9 is ready, are you?”

Trickett, 35, is a British poker sensation with £15.8m in live career earnings so far.

And that is only in official tournaments so does not include cash games. His net worth is said to be around £30m.

But that is just a snip of the £150m Raducanu is expected to pocket after her historic US Open win.

The Brit beat Leylah Annie Fernandez 6-4, 6-3 in New York and became the first qualifier ever to win a Grand Slam.

Shaw & Co were just three of hundreds of famous faces who tuned in to watch Raducanu win at Flushing Meadows.

The Queen and Boris Johnson sent congratulations.

As did Shaw’s team-mate Marcus Rashford and Match of the Day host Gary Lineker.

Shaw’s luxury home went on the market in 2018 but was swiftly taken off when his nemesis Jose Mourinho was sacked as Manchester United boss.
