Manchester United fans spot encouraging sign in Luke Shaw comeback performance

All of a sudden, Manchester United are a marauding force down the left.

This is why United signed Shaw for £30m back in 2014. The left back was captured from Southampton to do some damage up the wings and shut up shop on his end. Shaw has shown signs of potential but, for the most part, he has failed to live up to the price-tag. This afternoon, as Bournemouth came to Old Trafford, Shaw was awarded his first league start in almost four months. He was named in the same team as returning veterans Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick. He started like an absolute train and was in behind the Cherries defence and overlapping Anthony Martial up the left wing. He was also hurling himself into challenges, leaving Adam Smith in a bundle after one crunching 50/50 contest: United supporters were mightily impressed with Shaw as he hit the ground running on his league return. Many noticed any extremely encouraging sign and one that could bode well for United in the closing months of the season. https://twitter.com/man18united/status/838010704737206272 But it was his physicality that got the most comments: https://twitter.com/MyUnitedView/status/838010054406254593 https://twitter.com/OwenWanklyn/status/838010107048902656 https://twitter.com/Zizoureem/status/838010336431259648 https://twitter.com/ClassyScholes/status/838010241535119360 Andrew Surman had noted it too and got a measure of revenge on the England international. Some game so far.
