Unfortunately, he was poor for me and as I said in the match day thread, also been under par the last two games (Arsenal and Palace). Maybe it's the illness and being out but since the City game, his performances returning at left back have been a bit too lackadaisical and without the usual poise on and off the ball you'd expect from him.

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.

Maybe it is just me but I always find him quite miserable, especially when he does an Interview after a match. I think there is maybe a touch of anxiety in there so its not so much his delivery but his tone, he just sounds like he hates what he does.
He was terrible against Arsenal IMO, got schooled by Saka.
Also and this is not just restricted to him but this trend of covering the mouth when speaking on the pitch, like seriously, who cares what is being said? Are the people watching on TV going to telepathically inform the opposition? 8 times out of 10 a direct free kick fails so does it matter if people see what is being discussed?

This is such a bizarre rant
Man Utd 2:1 Crystal Palace
Thought he was brilliant in the second half.
Dealt with Olise with ease. Good assist for the goal.
Great game!
Honestly could be in with a shout for MotM. Licha probably edges it, but Shaw was excellent all game. He dominates the entire left side of the pitch when he's on form.
Luke at his best is a joy to watch
If it wasnt for Martinez, I dont think there would have been a more sure fire Man of the Match performance all season. Absolute leader. Sadly for him, Licha has a big red S under his normal outfit.
Very solid performance, but Martinez and Varane were masterful today. I’d like to have seen a bit more in attack from Shaw than we did.
Geniune shout for us having the best backline in the world in front of DDG when Dalot is fit.
Excellent assist to Marcus
He killed so much time on those throw ins. It was genius
I was thinking this is hyperbole but the Lucas Hernandez injury and Carvajal's dip in form probably means this is true until Madrid sign Cancelo this summer or something.
Best he's ever played for us. He's been incredible this season.
His touch was unusually loose, normally his first touch is one of the best parts of his game. But did put a good cross in for the goal in a good team move
Best left back in the world.
Don't @ me.
Don't @ me.
He is slowly becoming world class. Would walk in any team right now.
I was watching on a shite stream but there was a moment Palace were on the break and he went into central defence and won the ball back with nonchalant ease
Once again showing how good he can be when he has a bit of competition for his place.
Hope he keeps this up, hell of a player when he's in this kind of form.

Can I @ you to say I agree or +1?
Sure.
No, but it might make a back page headline for the Sun
Kind of want to see how he would do next to Sabitzer at home against Leeds next time out. With his technique and read of the game I’d like to see him as a six where Eriksen normally plays, reckon he could boss it there.
Yeah I think we do. Casemiro in front of them too
Thought he had a good game and some vital contributions but..I'm going to still beat the old drum, he's stands off a bit too much for me in the left channel. Gets bypassed or let's the other players play a pass down the line a bit too easily for me. Granted it's against a very skillful Olise but I just want to see him go touch tight or get closer a second before they get the ball.
He's either playing a bit too cautiously or playing within himself physically i.e less short/long high intensity sprints. It's probably why he's comfortable in the penalty area/CB positions as his area of coverage is smaller.

Brilliant of late, as has been the case most of the season. Not more to say about Luke Shaw.
Man Utd 2:2 Leeds United
He was brilliant second half. Drove down that flank again and again.
Garnacho doesn't click with him that well. Second half showed that.
My motm after a below par first half.
Looked like a man possessed in the 2nd half, genuinely unplayable when he's on it because of that combination of physicality/technical ability
It won’t happen but I’d start him at CM against Leeds on Sunday next to Sabitzer.
Fred is far too chaotic.
Fred is far too chaotic.
World class player doing world class stuff. Having him and Sancho on the same flank isn't fair for a team trying to get the ball back, they could have 5 men between them both and still knock it about.
Would have him in midfield over Lindelof. Special player.
He played really well with Sancho. He made our 2nd goal. The turn he made created so much space for him to run into. Absolute quality.
Would start him as a DM. He’s class
Best LB in the prem!
Please Ten Hag, try him at CDM.
There was a moment in the second half where it looked like he just went "feck this, I'm taking control of this match", and proceeded to do so.
I would like EtH to setup like this on Sunday:
de Gea
AWB - Varane - Martínez - Malacia
Shaw
Sabitzer - Fred
Bruno - Rashford - Sancho
The way he's playing I reckon he could play almost any position on the pitch to a pretty high standard.
