5 players who should leave Manchester United to progress in their careers

#2 Luke Shaw

Manchester United v Swansea City - Premier League

There are different angles to how one can look at Luke Shaw’s career at Manchester United. Signed as a young prodigy from Southampton, lots was expected from Shaw.

He had the ability and potential to make heads turn, and he was being groomed to take over the left-back position at Manchester United.

Fast forward a couple of years and things are completely different. Jose Mourinho has reinvented Ashley Young as the first choice left back and Young has been delivering match-winning performances.

Even when Young is rested, Mourinho prefers a more disciplined and stable Daley Blind over Luke Shaw.

Such situations can clearly take a toll and hit on any youngster’s confidence. Shaw has immense talent and ability to become the first choice left back for Manchester United, but has quite simply failed to do so, so far.

His searing pace, winger’s instinct to cut in and create opportunities and the passing range, as well as his crossing abilities are special. His fitness is what has tampered his growth as a footballer and a professional too.

Managers have doubted his professionalism and commitment towards improving fitness. No footballer has excelled without a good attitude and we have seen many talents going wasted just because of the lack of desire and passion to succeed.

Shaw needs some time away from the limelight to rejuvenate his form. He needs to find the form that made him famous in the first place and that can only be done away from Old Trafford.
