His 20th birthday was last month....

The potential is outrageous here. Finally seeing what we were waiting for, and boy was it worth it.
 
I'm so fecking pleased that everyone is seeing what this lad is capable of now :drool:
 
Narrowly behind Smalling as our best player these first 5 games. Darmian narrowly behind Luke.
 
Very happy we "overpaid" for this lovable player (unlike with Hazard when we refused to pay over the odds).
Sky is the limit for him, already top class when in form I dare to say
 


Possibly my favourite moment of the game. Cuts off a counter attack with a great interception, races forward to support his winger and then after the cross is cleared he races back at lightning speed to steal the ball and start it all over again...when we're 6-1 up. Gotta love that.
 
Pure garbage. Evra was a beast for us and probably our greatest leftback ever, even over Irwin. He was so good in his peak that the caf were labelling him a God or something. Shaw still has a long way to go before he can reach Evra's level.
It is pure speculation. Not garbage, I say he wasn't a great player for us, I said his game would have not suited Van Gaal's directives. He'd have either adapted or been dropped.

Fantastic clip. Not even going at full speed either.
 
I know the "Beast Mode" gimmick is Smalling's but Shaw is right there with him, he just devours the ground in front of him when he drives with the ball.
 
We suddenly have two of the best fullbacks in the league. How cool is that? In the words of LvG, "it's the year of Luke Shaw" indeed.
 
His improvement from last season has been astronomical. Not that he was awful by any means last season, but this season he looks a completely different player. He's physically dominant, attacks with purpose, and hardly ever seems to get beaten defensively.

I think a lot of it probably comes down to feeling more comfortable off the pitch in Manchester. It's sometimes overlooked how difficult it can be, particularly for young players, to up-sticks and move to a different city. He's also looking physically fitter than last year, which is undoubtedly playing its part in his impressive performances...
 
He was a beast last night. We're finally starting to see why the club forked out 30 odd million for a then 18 year old. Immense talent.
 
Arguably the best United player on the pitch in every game so far this season. Which is absolutely ridiculous for a left back who's barely out of his teens. His strength and pace are the most obvious assets but he's got unbelievable balance too. Just an amazing athlete.
 
Yeah and he can develop a lot physically once he sheds the baby fat and adds some considerable muscle.

There was baulking at the price we paid but I never saw it as a risk. Even last year when he had fitness and injury niggles you could tell he was going to be important for us.

You could say that for Darmian and Smalling as well though. Even Blind. Our back 4 has been impeccable this season.
 
Opposition fans only started with this after LVG said something about him not being fit..of course, they will run with this for the next decade..they are stupid, ignore them..

It doesn't bother me that much, just trying to understand the origin of some jokes. Just like Lampard used to be called fat when he was one of the best CMs in England.

Don't try and blame it on opposition fans, there were loads on here who spouted the same bollocks. No surprise there though.
 
He was pure class vs Chelsea at the bridge last season. He's looked pretty much at that level all of this season so far. Long may it continue.
 
Dare I say, he is the player doing his job the best in our squad.
