Manchester United fans think they know why Jose Mourinho finally played Luke Shaw

Jose Mourinho has developed something of a reputation over the years.

Actually, he's developed several reputations but the one we're currently talking about is his tendency to blame almost all unfavourable results on anything other than Jose Mourinho. If it's not the referee getting a slating, it's the opposition manager's refusal to play exciting football. If the media's not to blame, it's the weather. United drew 1-1 with Everton on Tuesday night which, given the late nature of the equaliser, will be viewed positively by most United supporters. But any result at Old Trafford other than a home victory is considered points dropped by plenty of fans. Luke Shaw made his return to action from the bench, after it initially seemed like Mourinho had dealt him the ultimate insult be choosing to play Ander Herrera at left back at the start of the second half. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/848664343440916481 But Shaw eventually made his way on to the pitch, with United trailing 1-0 thanks to a first-half Phil Jagielka goal. And while Zlatan Ibrahimovic rescued a point for the home side with a late penalty, which came about from a Shaw attempt at goal that was handled by Ashley Williams, supporters think Mourinho was planning his blame game by sending Shaw on after 65 minutes. https://twitter.com/blubloodz/status/849356242434883586 https://twitter.com/Freelander_TD4/status/849356470814736385 https://twitter.com/ImMeHooYou/status/849356526296944642 https://twitter.com/ilhammufc/status/849356660313399299 https://twitter.com/shedend9/status/849356666277683201 https://twitter.com/Jonny_Blobbins/status/849356691460300800 https://twitter.com/TheDavidMukuna/status/849356769646305280 https://twitter.com/AdWojtkowiak/status/849356816249217029 https://twitter.com/M19RKY/status/849357082658840576 https://twitter.com/BruceDaFnMan/status/849357141374840833
