Luke Shaw rejuvenated his Manchester United career this season
Once considered somewhat of an outcast at Manchester United by former boss Jose Mourinho due to issues with his physical discipline, most notably his weight, 2018/19 has been a season of rejuvenation for Luke Shaw.

The England international has been one of United’s more reliable performers despite the Red Devils’ struggles, appearing in 29 of their league games, and he’s regained a lot of the hype he had around him when he first moved to Old Trafford from Southampton in 2014.
Always an excellent attacking full-back, Shaw was brought back into the England squad for September’s internationals and set up Marcus Rashford for his goal against Spain – a precursor to an excellent return when it comes to assists; Shaw delivered 4 this season, a career-best total for the former Southampton man, as well as scoring the Red Devils’ first goal of the season in their opening game against Leicester.
Shaw’s other stats were impressive, too; an average pass success rate of 83.3%, a total of 33 key passes across the season, and two Man of the Match awards from WhoScored.com. At just 23 years old Shaw is still only entering into his prime years, and that’s good news for United – who should have a top-level left-back in their side for many seasons to come.
