Not many players are able to salvage their careers after the tumulus injury problems that someone like Luke Shaw has faced. After 4 seasons of uncertain game time and injury layoffs, Shaw finally came into his own this campaign showing glimpses of being the player that was promised during his time at Southampton.

On the defensive front, man United had been woeful this term under Mourinho but Shaw was regularly praised for his impressive displays at the back. After the change in managerial position, the team has gathered two clean sheets already in the league which adds upon Shaw's stats of 1 goal and 2 assists.

The Englishman is known for his marauding runs forward, both through the wing and the middle. His defensive side of things has also massively improved this year. With the club's renaissance under Solksjaer, Shaw might just continue to have an even better season with a lot more attacking freedom given to his play. Also at 23, Shaw has all the years to reach the heights that were billed on him in his early days.

Here's to hoping that his injury woes are well behind him.
