Luke Shaw excellent in that first half. Salah couldn’t get a sniff towards him so he swapped sides with Mane, and Shaw has been strong towards him too.

Shaw has all the time been technically proficient – that’s by no means been the problem. It’s all the time been a problem of his bodily, tactical and psychological capabilities since his return from damage. When Ole says “he’s improved immensely” he’s referring to these three issues. https://t.co/xCxfLRK1N7

The 25-year-old was filled with power going ahead towards Burnley in mid-week as nicely, and though followers might be tempted to see extra of him of their subsequent match towards Fulham, contemplating his previous damage document the United supervisor can be sensible to present him a nicely deserved relaxation as an alternative.
