Manchester United v Club America - International Champions Cup 2018

#4 Luke Shaw looks in good shape

A lot has been said about the England youngster over the years. He was about to hit a higher gear cement and his place in the team before he broke his leg in September 2015. Then his relationship with his Manager strained when Mourinho publicly bashed him.

Last season was one to forget and pictures emerged during the offseason that showed an out of shape Luke Shaw. But contrary to all reports, Shaw has come back stronger. While he is not at his full fitness yet, he looks sharp and there was a lot of desire in his performance against Club America.

Pre-season friendly matches are never the games to draw conclusions from, but Shaw looked full of running and intent. Maybe, if he holds on to his form and gets a bit of consistency with a run of games under his belt, he could have a good season. Looks like Mourinho’s tough love is taking shape after all.
