Nothing to worry about, lads. Mourinho's just holding him back for the tough second season.
Reading about a players attitude is the most irritating thing. He's lucky enough to play football to earn his living, he should give his all! Most of us have to slave away for most of our lives to get by.
He needs to sort himself out, at his age he should be full of enthusiasm, but I'm not going to be surprised if he is replaced in the summer.

Well then... I didn't realise he only had 1 year left on his contract either. We won't recoup much at all.
Sure, Samuel. Because his teammates would go behind his back and talk shit about him to you of all people.
Really don't like how Jose talks to the press about stuff like this.
To be fair he was first to report the Mata injury and has been getting snippets of team info this season.
He also told us Shaw was the last to leave the training pitch on saturday so ...
Good riddance.
We don't have the time to waste on him if he's not putting in the work or effort.
Easily get £25M + off him from Everton.

Savage comments from Mourinho. Tough love is one thing but let's be honest did it work with Henrikh Mkhitaryan? I mean he had a few decent games but looks pretty terrible. What did he actually do with him. Not exactly tearing the Premier League or anything.
I see Shaw getting sold mostly likely to a rival team. Will be determined to show his quality like KDB, Lukaku and co all have.
hope he goes to Everton or team below

I absolutely despise this man. Cancerous journalist for a cancerous newspaper.
Mourinho: "I cannot compare the way (Shaw) trains, he commits, the focus, the ambition. I cannot compare. He is a long way behind."
WOW they are savage comments, dont see any place in the team for him , fully expect him to be sold in the summer.

Wonder if any of the big clubs would be interested. Liverpool, City (not that he'd go to either) and Arsenal could do with a LB.
Maybe, but it's really difficult to come back after such a big injury. At least not to the world class levels or close to that. Not that many players with the ability to be great after severe injuries - can't think of that many.
Think I remember him saying similar things about Kevin De Bruyne...
Post the quotes.
Just seen the quotes. Good bye, Luke.
Really thought he'd have our LB position sorted for the next 10 years
Such a talented player, making team of the year during his time with Southampton, but the leg break obviously ruined things.
No chance. 1 year left on his contract and he's on over 100k per week.

I also didn't really understand what that meant
His commitment in training and attitude have nothing to do with the injury. If anything that sort of career threatening injury should act as a reality check. KDB and lukaku left Chelsea because they were alway going to play second fiddle to lampard and drogba. Shaw had the chance to make the left back position his but hasn't.
I think he's using it as an example to show how committed an England international can/should be - Hart is out on loan in Italy of all places to salvage his career. Shaw is [supposedly] half-heartedly training.
Jose was questioning Shaws commitment and application, and the journalist basically said...but he's an England International. As if to say, he's bound to have commitment etc.
What Jose meant was, just because you are an England International, doesn't mean you have made it or have a given right to play.
I was meaning that it's not certain that he can show his 'quality' even if he shows a lot of 'commitment' in training.
Yeah that makes sense.
I think it's time to sell Shaw. Its April now and Mourinho still isn't happy with his training levels. Doesn't look like Shaw will change any time soon
Jose told the journos that Shaw is a long way from playing and one of the journos piped up with "But he's an England international?!".
Thats when Jose said "Yeah? Joe Hart is on loan in Italy"
3:41
So he has managed to fall far behind Rojo, Darmian, Blind and Young? All very average players who aren't even natural left backs. Wow.
Must admit I believed Shaw would be our LB for at least a decade when he signed, but surely he is finished at the club. And van Gaal's transfer record is getting worse by the day.

A bit brutal from Jose here. Shaw is never gonna respond to this type of treatment. We will have to sell him for his own good. Lad needs to get on with his career cause it won't happen here.
Going forward, United should only buy the finished product for Jose. Otherwise we'll be wasting money. His methods do not work with the young ones.
It's funny about this attitude as I've heard from people who've met him that he's quite a nice decent chap. I really don't know what to think.

Hard to believe there's a way back for Shaw now
The club had already lined up this deal - LVG only approved it. Not sure he had any other choice. Let's not blame LVG for everything.
It doesn't bother me, to be honest. I had written Shaw off before Christmas.
A new left back will be bought.

Fair point, but I was just looking at the list of players he brought in. Not looking good at all.
MUFC owe Shaw nothing. We are not a charity.
If Shaw isn't good enough to play for us (or for Spurs), he needs to be shifted to lower level team.
Agreed.
These players should at least get some game time (either on loan or in our reserves).
Shaw has spent 3 important years of his career, basically doing nothing.
Or maybe Jose needs to work with the ones he has at the moment? Our team is better than Liverpool's for e.g. yet they're performing better than us. Not trying to complain about Jose but he does need to adjust his approach somewhat if we are to get anywhere with him in charge.
So you don't want us to discuss Shaw, in a Shaw performance thread, while he is not playing any games?
It's pretty obvious, isn't it? The journalist tries to make a point about Shaw being good enough (including commitment etc.) because he is English international and Jose dismisses it as being English international doesn't mean much these days.
Interesting comments from him. It actually looks like he's giving him a last chance by exposing him to the press that way, instead of voicing the concerns privately (which he probably did already). Now the pressure is on Shaw, and there is a chance that he'll actually get motivation for it. Or he'll break, but Mourinho already wrote him off anyway
I'm guessing it's more work ethic and desire to improve, rather than being disruptive. Seems to be a desperate attempt from Mourinho to get him to change his ways or he'll be sold on the summer.
Maybe he is Jose. Get the feeling he doesn't rate his mentality at all, and sees him as weak/fragile.
This shit looks fine once you get a reaction. It's not working, is it? Seems a ferocious waste of a very promising asset. Find it hard to believe he's been so spectacularly useless at training. If he's genuinely not putting it in, words fail me.
