He is better than Rojo at LB. Or at least he played better than Rojo did these past two games.

Was referring to his own punditry....he is shite tbf
Guy was watching an entirely different match in his own little universe, apparently both Shaw & Rafael struggled. How does he earn a living spouting such complete pap?

Annoying how some pundits/former players keep claiming that Rojo is a left back 'because he played there for Argentina' totally ignoring that at club level he played at centre back. Ince said it on Football Focus today and pundits do the same with Blind.
Delighted for Shaw. Could potentially be our left back for the next decade and seems to have his head screwed on straight.
That's atrocious! I mean, your average football fan knows more than quite a few people in the game. Absolutely shocking from Ince
Agree. Indeed one of those moments was very similar to Ashley Young misjudging the cross from which Swansea eventually scored their winning goal. This time the West Ham player shot directly towards goal with De Gea making a comfortable save.
Overall, I thought Shaw was decent but not amazing. Much better than Rojo against Leicester (not difficult), though not as good as Rojo against QPR.
Comfortable display from Shaw. Nothing worthy of a 7/10 but likewise nothing alarming or below a 6/10.
Needs to be more aware of players moving behind him toward the far post but even this has context, arguably only Stoke are likely to sling as many balls into the box as West Ham. Showed good energy too.
All in all a more comfortable debut than Evra had.

Rock solid today. We all knew he was the right signing. He's got the right balance. Big strong lad to boot.
I really really like him. He's gonna be a star.
'could have been 2 red cards' and the Shaw comments are beyond belief...
If he thinks that then he must've done well. Soccer Saturday lot have become very bitter towards United so much so it's bordering on embarrassing I've stopped watching it.
It's the sort of thing you want from him each week for 10 years. A good 7-8 out of 10. Very pleasing, especially in a tough defensive situation.
Irwinesque. Id be happy with that.
Very encouraging from him. Could end up being one of our most consistent and constant players, hopefully like Cole was for Chelsea.
Solid performance.
I agree. Was solid, calm, composed, and mature. He will hopefully be the LB for the next decade. Well done, Luke.
He looks capable of doing the job that Paddy Evra did down the left side. My main wish is for him to match Evra's fitness record of missing very few games.
Played very well. Overshadowed by Rafael today, but Shaw did well defensively and his ability to pass the ball infield is already miles ahead of most fullbacks, despite his youth. I'm a big fan.
Great debut. Him and Rafael were both very good today.

Old article... but there is abit about Luke Shaw, where he mentions him as a wonderful prospect.

He was out of position once or twice but otherwise I'm very pleased. I like how he sticks with players moving up the wing and doesn't give them much room to work with. As great as Evra was for us, he gave opponents way too much space in his last couple of seasons here and we were vulnerable in that area.
Was it him who actually gave the ball away to Downing before Rooney's red card. In the replays they kept showing Rooney's foul, but not what happened before, so I am not entirely sure.
I just hope we can beat Everton and Chelsea beat Arsenal, not convinced we will win league anyway. Just so we go above his and Merson's precious club. He will still think we are struggling and Arsenal are the bee knees.
He attempted to play the ball forward but it was closed down by a West Ham player. If we're being critical he probably should have played the ball a bit earlier, seemed to dwell on it.
Other than that a very solid display. He's going to be a fantastic player for us.
Hopefully we'll see him in our 'Players with most appearances for Utd' column in 10-12 years. Has a bright future ahead of him.
Apparently was head butted by Sakho during the game on Sat. Saw him poleaxed and complaining but no idea what it was about at the time.

Shaw looks nailed on for left back for many years. As for Rojo he looked much happier in a central defender position and considering all the circumstances all our backs were terrific on the day. Despite the close shave on the final score and the sour notes of De Gea's and Rooney's mistakes, we should be very pleased.
His ball forward was blocked by a west ham player with their hand and it deflected to downing when before it was heading into box
Him and Rafa down the wings are just absolutely terrifying. To think that we have Rooney, Di Maria, Van Persie and Falcao interchanging in their channels is just beautiful. Once this team really gels we are going to have something wonderful
Very good performance.
I think the best thing about Shaw is that he can give us very good balance. He is a full-back who can actually defend very well (unlike most modern wing backs who love bombing up). On the left, we have Di Maria to provide us width (On the right, Rafael does that much more than Herrera) and Shaw can be a fantastic ally for his defensive skills are terrific.

Just saw this on the BBC article about Rooney, just casually added on the end. Anyone seen the incident or any footage of it?
Delighted with this signing. Hopefully he cements the left back slot from now on.
Solid performance from him. Much better than Rojo at LB. I'm hoping that this now means Rojo will be CB (where he also had a solid game) and Shaw LB from now on.
Didn't notice anything live to be honest although Sakho should have been sent off regardless of any incident with Shaw.
One of the best things about Shaw is that he's had brilliant footballing education and I feel it marks him out from say Jones and Smalling. He does the simple technical things like trapping the ball, passing with proper weight etc, really well. The fact that his defending, especially one on ones, is really good is extremely heartening. Lot of talk about Lukaku bullying our defense next week. If Martinez shoves him out on the right wing again, I can fully see him spending time in Shaw's back pocket.
I would think he would start as a CF to bully our center backs
Shaw did OK Saturday. He will get better and more consistent as he gets more games. Great potential and showed that he has a burst of pace as well. That extra training looks to have paid off.
That's atrocious! I mean, your average football fan knows more than quite a few people in the game. Absolutely shocking from Ince
It's amazing how punditry is getting worse, and how little interest these professionals have in football outside of the Premier League. They're obviously entitled to their opinions about Shaw, and we'll always disagree on stuff they say, but it's remarkable how many folk seem to think we signed 3 left backs this summer.
Databases like Transfermarkt should make research so much easier for basic stuff, and you can just about watch any top flight football match you want on the internet. Hell, they could probably stand to learn a thing or two even from having a browse on Football Manager, yet somehow the accuracy in what pundits say is getting worse and worse. No research or knowledge.

Sakho not getting a ban, then. Did anyone see the incident?
