5 Youngsters who can shine for Manchester United this season if Mourinho gives them a chance

#4 Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw needs to stand up and be counted this season

Luke Shaw is now remembered as the boy who could not fulfill his potential, but people forget that he is still only 23 years old.

Shaw has been in the United ranks since 2014 when he joined from Southampton for £27m. But injuries and attitude problems have halted his progression and it did seem that he would never justify his potential.

However, Shaw has improved his attitude of late and has been working hard. Ashley Young's emergence as a left back came at a wrong time for him, but the boy has not given up yet. He had a decent preseason this time and looks ready finally.

United was linked with a few left backs as well this season and it is a sign of the manager's confidence in Luke Shaw that none of those deals were pursued.

Young's age will catch up with him soon, but even without that, this should finally be the season of Shaw. All he needs, once again, is a little trust from his manager.

Once again, game time is all that is required to build his confidence and to ensure he understands the players around him.

He is good going forward as well as defending with his back to the wall and his speed makes him a tricky proposition.

He needs to improve on his crossing though and with a little guidance from Jose, he should be sticking around for years.
