Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw admits he can not wait to take on Manchester City after the worldwide break next week.

“He’s different than (Wayne) Rooney, he’s different than Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), so everybody is happy with him and we’re happy with the squad”.
“At 34 years old, you need to rest”. He’s playing every match, every minute.
He struck twice against Southampton on August 19, from a header and a penalty in a 2-0 win, but failed to find the net in the 1-0 victory against Hull City on Aug 27.
Fellaini completed the entire match as substitute Marcus Rashford gave United a stoppage-time 1-0 win at Hull City to maintain their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season under Mourinho.
The 23-year-old spent the first half of last season on loan at Preston scoring two goals in 22 appearances before being recalled by Manchester United only to suffer a season-ending injury in the FA Cup win over Shrewsbury. Scott Dann’s late leveller gave Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Bournemouth at Selhurst Park. After their heroic defeat to Manchester United on Saturday evening (which they went into with a season’s high of 14 senior professionals), it seemed that if Hull didn’t move fast they would lose a man who has done so much so soon.
Trust is mutual Just before they stepped onto the pitch, Sir Alex Ferguson would always have one last reminder for his players.
“But for me, from a selfish point of view, thinking just about me and the evolution of my player, I prefer him to play with the Under-21s”.
Mourinho sent on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, yet to make his first start for United, for Martial on the hour mark, while Ibrahimovic’s frustration was evident after Mata nicked the ball off him on the edge of the box only to lose control.
“We’ve got to wait and see how things go in September and October, but there is respect between us and that’s important for me”.
“I loved it”, he told the club’s official website.
“I have 23 players in the squad and in principle there is nobody leaving and nobody is coming”, Mourinho said.
Allardyce had cited the teenager’s lack of competitive game time for the omission and, as the drama unfolded in Hull yesterday, social media came alive with those urging Mourinho to introduce Rashford, which he did in the 71st minute.

“I’m sure his chance will come”.
