I still think he can do more in the final third. He had the pace to destroy Ivanovic.

He's 19 and it was a big game mind, but there is more to come and it's just getting it out.
 
Good performance. Chelsea defended our wide threats quite well but he made a nuisance of himself coming forward. Even though we know he's quick, it's quite deceptive as to how quick he is.
 
Already seems to be a very good player. It's rare to have a full back who's actually good at defending, and he seems pretty decent at it.
 
I thought he was outstanding today. Very mature performance from an 18 year old. I think I only remembering him being caught out once and that's not bad against Chelsea.
 
he is pretty fast, but what i like is his composure for a 19 year old. He is happy to hold the ball with somebody on his back unlike almost all our defenders. Also, he is 19:eek:
 
He's only going to get better. So much better.
 
His touch in some tight situation was excellent today and so was his pace.

Nice understanding with Januzaj in first half vs a defensive Chelsea right side. And was our most solid defender today probably.
 
Improvement is evident. As he gets fitter and more match practice he will come into his own. I do expect him to make some mistakes as he is only 19 but i think he will be a rio type investment which will bear fruit for a long long time.
 
I thought he was extremely good today. Best performance so far, hopefully many more even better ones to come.
 
Solid player but hopefully his end product is better in his crossing.
 
The tackle he made on Willian I think was class. Big part of what we did to combat Chelsea's physicality and stand up to them.
 
Our wingers aren't using him at all, especially di Maria. , I think Shaw just gives up making overlap runs after few times in every game becaue di Maria keeps ignoring him time and time again.
 
I keep forgetting he's only 18. Incredible performances considering.
 
He is really good, but offensively can improve immensely. He is far too happy to just keep the ball and play a back pass, although to his defence our movement in front of him isnt the best. When he crosses though, they never pass the first defender.

Him and Januzaj were linking up pretty well in the first half. He has great pace though and I agree we should be looking to play him in behind the fullback much more often.
 
Extremely impressed by him today. He'll be a fantastic player for us and on defending is already an upgrade in Evra of the last 3 seasons.
 
He needs to cut inside more. Rafael does it quite a bit and I think it's really effective. At times today he looked like he had no idea what to do with the ball and other times he looked good. When he gets one on one with the opposing fullback he looks like he knows himself he can't beat him though. Needs confidence and to grow into the role.
 
You can see his confidence increasing with every game. He will be an excellent left back for us for many years to come.
 
I thought he had a great game today especially as it was against a good chelsea side .
Chelsea like to get Oscar and Willian back to help the full backs and this made it even harder , but to his credit he played well and was hardly ever exposed
What we seem to forget is we had an 18 and 19 year old on our left side for most the game and we looked solid .
Good stuff
 
Great performance from him, he's pretty fast for a bulky guy!

I thought he and Januzaj linked up really well today, better than he does with Di Maria.
 
Good to see a reaction out of him after Monday, very good today against Willian who is strong as well as quick.
 
Good game from him and he is certain to improve offensively as he has the basics, like good first touch, pace etc, nailed down.
 
No one would guess looking at his dressing habits that he looks so mature as a player. No nonsense , comfortable football player. Bargain.
 
I still feel like he is playing within himself, like he is afraid to lose possession or go against his coaching, but once he feels at home in the starting eleven i expect we will see him show a lot more of his attacking ability.
 
I am always impressed with his maturity. Did very good today, we are lucky to have him.

Yeah he was neutralised a bit up against Ivanovic today but I think he set the chance up for RVP in the 2nd half. Don't think they expected him to cut inside and do that at all.
 
Thought today was his best game so far. To be fair Rafael had a much tougher job but Shaw looked very good. Looks like him and Adnan could be a nice partnership.
 
He's learning game by game what it takes to be a United player. In four to five years time he'll be a fully established member of the first team.

I disagree with this. Provided he's not on the opposite side to Phil Jones in training, he'll have made that spot his by the end of the season. I can only really see injury keep him out of the side now (unless he goes through a period of abysmal form). His injury record before coming here was fantastic, and hopefully poaching Matt Radcliffe from Southampton will help that here.
 
Looks better and better with each game...

Haters still keep trying to say this, that and t'other about the lad. All nonsense. Took great pleasure in correcting their opinions today and all because the kid is that good i only had to smile, point at the telly and say "look at that, pure class and only a young lad too. What a bargain"

A lot done, more to do!!
