A question to fellow members and Eds, could anyone update the situation regarding our Left Back situation and inparticular Luke Shaw

I have heard pretty mixed responses from fellow fans that Mourinho thinks he a "lazy trainer", that he tactically not a Mourinho Left Back (he doesn't track back well), what your guys thoughts on this?

Personally I would like to see him stay and maybe bring some depth if Mourinho is not keen on Blind/ Darmian this summer. I would get someone like Fabio Coentrao who if he can get back to being "fit" and show some promise again be a useful addition, plus the guy would be pretty cheap and has worked under Mourinho before.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to sell Shaw and MU has no interest in Coentrao at all.}

Agree0 Disagree1

I don't buy into the idea that he isn't a Mourinho type player. If he isn't then why did Mourinho show interest in signing him for Chelsea when he was at Southampton?
In the end they weren't prepared to pay the money for him, but they did want to sign him.

He may or may not be a lazy trainer, we aren't privvy to that infomation.
But we do know that at the emd of his first season with us he took a personal trainer with him on holiday to improve his fitness, that doesn't sound like someone who doesn't care about his fitness.

Mourinho has stated recently that although the injury in his leg may have healed he may not have fully mentally recovered from the injury.

I think that is where we are with Shaw, give him time.

Thanks Ed, great to hear that.

Agree with you Shappy, too promising as a player to give up on him, just look at someone like Mkhitaryan who struggled at first and has now become a world beater, patience and time is the key especially on a injury like Luke Shaw.

Been saying the same for a while shappy, jose said more or less that the other day.

he's been left out of the squad again. He must have some serious work to do.

21 Feb 2017 16:01:32
You can only pick so many players . Maybe there are players ahead of him and he will have to wait and take his chance.

Because I am playing with Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Darmian. They are playing the way I like a full back to play and Luke has to wait for his chance knowing I give nothing for free. When I give something to the players it is not cheap, it is expensive.

“They have to work hard every day, they have to play well, so he has to wait. In this moment, he is behind the others.

“Potentially, he has many things that I like. ”jose on shaw today.

Mad though, only out and out lb in the squad.

Very true pal but the team is playing well would be harsh to drop others out the squad at the moment .
