I’m sure he’s been mentioned by a few previous managers about his fitness issues. He’s a young kid who is apparently not living his lifestyle to match a top level footballer. That’s what I heard anyhow and have no reason to disbelieve it. Plus his appearance and performances have kind of backed this up so I’m at the stage I hope he goes and does well somewhere else but let’s get somebody in who’s at the least fully committed to the cause.

There's still a great player in there, he shows glimpses of it every time he plays. Can't help but feel if he was given the opportunity to play 5-10 games in a row he'd be back to his top level. We concede less when he's playing as well.
Was fine, but he still can't cross ffs.
Demi Mitchell from the academy is most likely to be the understudy if Shaw leaves. Had a good loan at Hearts in the SPL.
At this point I think it is in everyone's best interest that he leaves. He needs games to develop himself and it looks like that isn't going to happen here so it's better he goes elsewhere. There's no point in sitting on the bench. He needs games. I would actually like to see this lad's potential for once even if it's not here I won't mind. We need to see how he can develop. For a few games at the start of the 2015/16 he looked the real deal but then the injury happened and we never saw him again under LVG. These last two years he hasn't put a run of games together either due to injuries or just being out of favour.
Did ok when he was on as sub. I'd rather see him at left back and Young right back than see Darmian start.
West Ham 0:0 Man Utd
Wing back never been his strongest position but showed he's still got what it takes. Another clean sheet on the belt too.
Did well today. Moved and linked pretty well. However I don't know, is crossing that hard of a skill to learn ?
Did well. Really attacked the opposition goal and defended decently.
Crossing is poor but beyond that he’s perfect for the role. Keeps the ball nicely as well - he needs to work an hitting dangerous zones with his crossing, it looks like he hesitates and looks for the perfect option that isn’t always there.
He will make someone a good leftback moving forward.
Played well. At least not worse than Young/Blind/Darmian would, plus he was a bigger threat than any of those.
Think he does very well considering he plays once a month
Not sure I’m seeing what everyone else is seeing when it comes to Shaw.
If he wasn’t at United we wouldn’t want to sign him.

Got into good positions at times but with no end product. Nothing in his locker other than low crosses. An okay performance , but so clearly not good enough.
I totally agree. He is actually awful if you compare him to fullbacks in other leagues. Awful signing can't believe we paid 30 mil for him.
Solid game, sticking up for Pogba was a bonus.
If he could just learn how to cross.

Seen people praising him for tonight. Thought he was pretty shite looking in all honesty. Could have bagged a goal regardless.
And while it's flogging a dead horse, he's in disgraceful shape for a professional athlete.

That is generally what you write about practically all our players
Good performance and to say he’s not played on a regular basis, should be given the Watford game and if he performs well, he should start in the final ahead of the very average and not a full back young.
Decent shot that the keeper saved on to the post. Apart from that a bit patchy, especially in the final third, short passes straight to West Ham players, crosses nowhere near United players. Defensively he was fine.
He adds a lot to the game with his attacking thrust, can't cross his legs, but neither could Evra. Just a pity that he has not been mentally tough enough to handle the Mourinho onslaught. Go to Spurs and end up a world class full back in a different environment.
Thought he was really good in the first half, but his stamina is awful and it showed after the break. There were a number of times where he could have burst forward into space after playing a pass and instead jogged forward.
Not too shabby but it's just West Ham.
It doesnt matter, he could look like Roberto Carlos out there and his status in JM eyes wouldnt change.
There is a good player in him. I liked his match. It makes a big change from Young who 999 times out of 1000 would stop to cut back on his right foot.
Was pretty good. Might have even been better if people decided to get in the box so there was someone to cross to. Was solid in defence as well.
Props for taking a punch to the face and not dropping to the deck clutching his face like he’d just been hit in the face with a baseball bat.

Did well for me, hate on here for him is cray cray.
Ye that's probably true!
He must be shocking in training as his performances haven't warranted the contrasting treatment that he's received to the rest of the squad. It'd make sense if left back was our only weakness, but the squad is littered with average performances.
I like him as a footballer. Hope he turns it all around here. But the first step is peak physical fitness.
Given how he's been treated and how little he's played I thought he looked sharp tonight at both ends of the pitch.
Distinctly average. Doesn't take much to impress some people.
Isn’t that a byproduct of how low we rate the rest of the fullbacks then. As soon as someone can defend, carry a ball forward and pick out passes we are impressed.
Anyone seen that tweet in the Jose thread about Jose running to the touchline and giving Shaw a bollocking for taking that shot that was deflected on to the post. Surely Luckhurst is confused as if he really did have a go at him for that then wow...
Probably yeah. Maybe I'm being harsh, but there wasn't really anything to talk about. Same goes for everyone.
I'd be very disappointed if that's true about Jose though.
He needs games. Thought he was one of our better players today.
Shaw for England
In the first half he was sharp as a razor. Barely gave anything away and made some nice passes. Didn't start the second half great but grew back into the game and was solid enough in the second half.
Overall he got unlucky with a couple of his crosses. There was rarely anyone in the box and a couple of his cutbacks avoided the first few defenders which is a dangerous ball, just nobody coming into those areas as you'd expect.
I don't doubt that he's a talented player and should have been a great all round left back because he's got a lot going for him in terms of speed, strength and technical ability. He's a good defender on his day too. Think he'll be gone in the summer but could still see him having a good career if he puts right whatever he's been doing wrong off the pitch.

He'll go on to be top class elsewhere.
He did well considering how few minutes he gets a month.
We'd be stupid to sell him. Guarantee he'll go on to be great at another club.

He's a good player and one I want to keep
Can’t keep them if they don’t perform. Cut your loses and move on.
