Manchester United's left back, Luke Shaw has improved leaps and bounds this season. He further highlighted his quality in an impressive display against Arsenal.

Shaw put in a great shift at Left Back and performed his duties to the best of his ability. The former Southampton defender was equally proficient in attack and defence, while making a number of telling interceptions and tackles, which broke up Arsenal's play down the right wing.

While going forward, Shaw linked up well with Alexis Sanchez and put in a number of teasing crosses for Lukaku to attack. He did not ignore his defensive duties and prevented Maitland-Niles from making dangerous overlapping runs. The left back also committed some smart fouls in order to stifle Arsenal’s forwards.

Shaw ended the game with a pass accuracy rate of 75%, won five duels, recovered possession on three occasions, made four interceptions and accurately completed 3/3 long balls, which highlight his attacking prowess.
