Casemiro - yes, already the best in his position (forgot to include him earlier).
Lisandro - let’s see - he has the ability but he’s still young in his career.

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.

Lisandro - let’s see - he has the ability but he’s still young in his career.
He is so good it is unbelievable.
He tilts the pitch towards his side as he can dribble past players, pass through the lines, etc. He's improved like most players, but his improvement has been consistency and just overall impact on matches going forward and defending. He's truly playing world class.
Watching him the past few matches, at CB and now at traditional LB, it makes a massive difference in having your left sided defenders left footed, unless you're playing like Cancelo was all of last season.
Man of the match. His strongest game in a long while. Hope he keeps this up.
Juggernaut
I wonder if ETH knew Shaw can be that good.

Motivation and fitness make such a huge difference at the elite level. We're seeing it with Rashford and others as well. Shaw has always had the skill but he's prone to complacency. Even last night at two nil he started trying little casual passes and almost conceded a goal because of it. Then you see his cross for the third goal( not to mention the sexy second goal) and realize why we bought him for a record fee all those years ago.
Hes been an elite player for many years now, so these performances aren't surprising anymore. He looks like he's playing against kids. Insane close control strength and pace.
Casemiro was outstanding, but Luke was a beast!
Best LB in the world. Change my mind
I just love that a section of the fanbase convinced themselves that this guy was useless basically just because he's English and they for some reason decided that "the English cohort" were to blame for our abysmal football last season.
Shaw is a top player. Even in a terrible side last season, the extent to which his performances were poor was usually massively overplayed.

Barring last season, he’s been pretty much consistently one of our best players since he hit his prime. He’s every bit as good as Robertson or Cancelo.
The run for the goal was great. The pass to Bruno was great but there was one where he just held the ball, invited pressure and ignored a simple option back just waiting for a tiny gap and Casemiro to make the move and bent a pass round a player in to Casemiro. So simple yet fantastic.
Also loved when he found himself playing DM and Cas was filling in at LB. Seems to be a partnership forming there.
Shawdini or Shawberto he is just class.

When on song he is brilliant. If he can keep it up there’s no reason he can’t become a legend at this club.
He‘s been brilliant, but let‘s see how long he keeps up that form. He can be exciting, and then suddenly drops off.
And his bad performance last season was partly due to him playing injured.
Not really though. He's been very consistent for us for about 4 years, he had dip in form last season but I think that's largely due to the Euros, a squashed season and injuries.
Man Utd 3:1 Everton
That was a fun experiment, let’s keep him at LB.
Completely shuts off Maupay, then letting Varane do his magic.
think it’s fair to say the cb experiment might be over today.
Yep. Fun while it lasted, but let's not make a habit of it.
Luke Shaw had a great match against Bounermouth, not only scoring after a great run but also the launch for the third goal for Bruno Fernandes to go under it was wonderful, finally Luke Shaw when well, and he comes very well, he is one of the best left backs in this competition and he's been that, I think we can look at Luke Shaw through that prism this season it's cool to see a player who had so many ups and downs much downs than the ups of a few seasons with all that serious injury problem and now he's managing to have an interesting consistency at a good level of performance
Strange decision to start him at CB. I'm not convinced he has the defensive awareness to deal with Haaland's movement. Here's hoping ten Hag proves me wrong.
Man Utd 2:1 Man City
Beast of a player. Can play CB against the best team in England
Monster this guy
so so good today. last 5 mins especially he was a monster
Unbelievable
Beastly!
What a beast, our best leftback and centreback. I wouldn't mind having a defense with 4*Shaw
Superb. Back to the player he always should be. This was the first season I ever gave up on him; glad he was determined to prove me wrong! 
That last tackle in the very end. I flew off my sofa screaming his name.
Love him. So, so, so god damn solid
Love him. So, so, so god damn solid
Elite CB and LB.
Always thought he would be an immense LCB in a back 3 but he's dominating in a back 4 as a CB... brilliant stuff.
This aged well
But yes, the gamble paid off. Shaw’s really fecking good at this defending shit and playing football if he can stay healthy
He's now England's best left-back and centre-back.
Absolute top quality. Whether it’s at CB or LB, he makes it look so easy. He’s just really good at football, the type that would excel in any position he’s put in.
Yeah well, if he ends up being our starting LCB, I won't complain
Shawdini?
fecking what a player
