Analysing Luke Shaw: 5 Positives From The Manchester United Left Back’s Performance Against Leicester City

#2 Strong performance in defence

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League

Shaw did not just join in the attack, he was strong while defending as well. He pressed efficiently, recovered the ball and also showed a budding understanding with Lindelof. The two exchanged passes and came to each other's rescue a couple of times. Shaw had 1 block to his name, he also intercepted the ball once.

He attempted 3 tackles, the same as Bailly and also had 5 clearances. He was so assured in his defensive duties that even though he attempted tackles, he did not concede a single foul. It was a vast improvement from the player who had looked defensively vulnerable over the years, however, he did get caught on the ball a couple of times and he will be looking to improve on those aspects.
