In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

The funny thing is that you could tell that he knew he was playing well.
Shaw had a cockiness about him today.
How tall is he? Similar to Martinez?

I think he's quite a bit taller. He seems one of those that look short but could easily be 6ft.
For me, knowing both he and Varane are speedsters gave me - and probably the players - an extra level of security and freed them up to press high up the pitch
Got worried first when i read that there were massive surprises at the back for us, than i see it´s Luke at LCB, pheew. Not worried anymore.
Guy is a tank, strong as an ox, rapid, good first touch, solid and calm.
Honestly think we might have played him out of position for some time now

It's the short legs. He's got a short stride like a much smaller player.
He's 6'1" believe it or not.
He's long in the body and short in the leg, and his stockiness makes him look shorter.
It suits him at CB. He's been brilliant before in a back three.
It removes his major weakness i.e the lungs to get up and down the pitch.

Where on earth did you get that from?
Very solid again. ETH is pushing him and it shows on the pitch
He was so good I started thinking we might just replace Maguire with another right-footed CB and make Shaw the backup LCB, bring back Alvaro in the summer to be the 3rd choice LB who makes the bench whenever Lisandro, Shaw or Malacia is hurt, suspended or rested, which probably adds up to a decent amount of bench apperances.
What?? Do people actually think he’s got a lung problem? He’s one of the best athletes in our squad. He’s like young Rooney in that he looks a bit porky but can run all day.
And he is not terribly quick. But quite agree. He played very well and did during the WC.
Just a simple Google search and you might find your answer.
I mean, is it really a surprise that Shaw plays well after he’s had Christmas dinner.
All those potatoes, dripping in duck fat. A block of stuffing the size of a dictionary. A full pint of gravy.
We should have played the fecker up front, he’d have gobbled up all those chances in the second half

He certainly lacks it a bit — if not in stamina per de but certainly in intensity. It’s only when he’s at his absolute physical best (which happens from time to time) that he’s able to switch to a Shawberto mode. He’s absolutely rapid but he’s far from Rooney’s metaphorical lung capacity.
I mean what site because it is blatantly not true. I am assuming wikipedia.
Try googling him next to Mourinho who is about 5 ft 8.
Luke Shaw is definitely not 6'1.
No way he is 6'1... He is 1.81 (5'9) on FM22, which seems closer to the truth. He is 1.78(5.8) according to Transfermarkt.
Height aside, he was very good yesterday. Don't know if he will be able to cut it against top opposition, but certainly can be utilized as CB against weaker teams.

Weirdly enough he’s listed as 185 cm/6'1 on Premier League’s official website… but here he is pictured next to the 6'1 Gareth Bale:

Image is not showing, but it is probably the one below. Clearly not as tall as Bale.
He’s 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in. There are a lot of discussions in Reddit and celebheights.Image is not showing, but it is probably the one below. Clearly not as tall as Bale.
Bale is also not 6ft 1in, he is more of a 6ft 0.5 in.
Yeah, it’s this one.Image is not showing, but it is probably the one below. Clearly not as tall as Bale.
Good touch for a big/medium/small man.
Nah no chance.
I wouldn't call it a problem, you just have to be extremely fit to play fullback.
I'd genuinely rather see him as the backup for Martinez than either of Maguire or Lindelof, especially with how good Malacia is as backup to Shaw.

Perfect example, there are also a lot of pictures of him being clearly shorter than Ronaldo who from personal experience having stood next to him is a pretty strong 6 ft 1 but definitely not 6 ft 2.
Not that it matters, I think he has always looked very good at centre back and think he is probably our second best option on the left.
They were adding on arse protrusion inches?Weirdly enough he’s listed as 185 cm/6'1 on Premier League’s official website… but here he is pictured next to the 6'1 Gareth Bale:
Good Lord. That’s an actual website?! I think we can all guess the average height of people who use that website. Or indeed anyone who discusses height in terms of 0.5 inches.
Yes, Pogue, it's a website about the discussion height of celebrities around the world. People usually share their opinion and pieces of evidence about it.

Celebheights.com listed Bale as 183.5 cm. From what I've read, I think it's the correct estimation.
With Ronaldo who is in 185-186 centimeters, he is shorter than him maybe 2 centimeters.
Compare him to Bale, I actually think he is around 178-179 centimeters.

Shaw and Solskjaer
Yup! Without a doubt.
Wolves 0:1 Man Utd
He's been very good. We need him at LB though
First choice LB, second choice LCB. He’d probably even be our best Casemiro deputy too if we played him there. Top player.
He's been good at CB.
Have to say Maguire is even further down the CB pecking order right now. Says a lot.
Shaw and Varane Motms today.

Maldini and Roberto Carlos rolled into one.
He’s been superb this season. A joy to watch when he’s in form.
I’ve said it before but his first touch is as good as I’ve seen. Just glued to his boot.

From Shawberto Carlos to Luke Maldini
Effortlessly fit into CB like Alaba.
