Jose takes aim at Shaw

ONE month after Jose Mourinho said Luke Shaw could be Manchester United’s best left back, the England international could be looking for a new club.

Mourinho questioned the defender’s commitment after again leaving Shaw out of his squad for the 0-0 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

“It’s difficult for him to be on the bench,” the United manager said of the 21-year-old Shaw, who is behind Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo for the left back position. “I cannot compare the way he trains and commits, the focus, the ambition. He is a long way behind.”

When Shaw joined United from Southampton in 2014 for reportedly for more than 27 million pounds (US$46 million), Shaw became the world’s most expensive teenager.

Shaw has made only two United appearances in the last four months despite overcoming niggles related to a long lay-off and being fit since mid-January. He has been publicly criticized by Mourinho on several occasions.

United is in fifth place in the Premier League.
