Shaw has played a key role for United so far this season, with Jose Mourinho’s side winning their first three Premier League matches. When the team was chasing the ball against Leicester in the Community Shield and again tonight, he made a difference for us. “We’ve got to focus on the worldwide break but obviously we have the big game against Manchester City when we come back”.

“You have to play to win every game”.
“He can play but he can be on the bench, I don’t know”. “I think, emotion-wise, that was the best I’ve felt ever on a pitch”. We tried and tried and got it.
However, after a disappointing 5th placed league finish last season, new manager Jose Mourinho made a decision to rope in quality players and brought in one of the world’s most prolific strikers in Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “Now we have no game, it is vitally important we do it”, Phelan told reporters.
