5 Premier League players who disappeared completely in recent seasons

#3 Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw recently came first in a fitness test at United but still can't find a way back into the team

Southampton's academy has overseen the development of several talented young English players, and it seemed for a while like Luke Shaw might be the latest Southampton product to make it big. After featuring in the PFA Team of the Year for 2013-14, Shaw signed for Manchester United in 2014, the same year that he received his first England senior team call-up. Shaw was just a few months shy of turning 19, and the left-back was poised to take the world by storm.

Unfortunately, a series of injuries limited him to just 20 appearances in the 2014-15 season. Shaw started the following season brightly but was yet again forced out of the squad for an extended period after suffering a double leg fracture, which kept him out of the squad for seven months.

Shaw struggled for game time in the following year, failing to impress the new Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho. Mourinho publicly questioned his attitude during the season and the relationship between the two soured. Shaw is yet to appear in a Premier League game in the 2017-18 season, and it's hard to see a way back into the Manchester United squad for the Englishman.
