After a long period of being out due to a relapse of injuries, Shaw was left a reserve by Mourinho for two Premier League games. And the English defender was introduced in the match that was almost a procedure for Manchester United against CSKA Moscow.
A month ago, the "Special One" himself announced that Shaw was almost out of chances in the "Red Devils" first team because he could not wait patiently for this sick player to fully recover from his injury as well as regain his form. At the same time, a series of rumors about Shaw's future were also circulating in the press. There was a time when it seemed like he would return to St. Petersburg. Mary with a £20 million contract from her former club Southampton.
But Mourinho was unexpectedly patient with Shaw's case and promised to give him a chance. Grasping this, the 22-year-old defender himself has tried his best to practice to return to wait for the return day. Mourinho was right to let Shaw start in the match early this morning.
The first 25 minutes of the first half were Shaw's time playing as he was at Southampton. The rhythmic attacks of the goalkeeper combined with the self-forgettable situations. At least realize that a player who was thought to have lost his career was in his twenties.
2 weeks ago, Mourinho replied in the press conference room that he would give Shaw a chance to do it again and that he was very "military" in allowing his student to show his ability in the Champions League, not in more competitions such as the League Cup or FA Cup.
After the match, the Bo coach himself praised Shaw. However, the "Special One" is not sure about anything about the future or upcoming position of this player. Because a player who has just returned from injury and played or played a match cannot say much.
Moreover, rumors about M.U buying Danny Rose from Tottenham are still there. If Mourinho welcomes Rose to Old Trafford, the left-back position will be a fierce competition between Shaw and Rose. But that is good for both Shaw and the club as the competitiveness is pushed to the peak.
