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

#1 Confident enough to shoot

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League

All the big teams in the big leagues look through their team for goals. They find goals from their strikers, midfielders and even defenders. And goalscoring fullbacks are a rage in modern football. Much to the joy of the United faithful, Shaw has finally displayed the confidence to shoot at goal. He had two shots and both were on target.

His first attempt was a low right-footed drive that was saved by the goalkeeper, but it was a sign of things to come. Throughout the game, he was always lurking around the penalty box, ready to act if called upon, ready to work if asked to deliver and when Mata found him, he had the desire to get the better of Amartey and score with his left foot.

There was a hunger in him that was not present before and it was because of this hunger that Shaw scored his first goal for Manchester United. When he takes the field against teams now, the opposition will be wary, because Luke Shaw has gained confidence now, and Luke Shaw will not stop.
