I am also wondering, since I don't follow other leagues that much, is he the best LB (or even FB) in the world this season?Best LB in the world right now.
There's not many better LBs, that's for sure. What makes Shaw so good is that he barely ever gets beaten defensively and acts as a de facto playmaker from full back, you're not going to find many more well rounded players than that.Best left back in the league. Best in the world? I don’t watch enough continental football but surely it’s a shout? Our player of the season. If he’s not first name on the team sheet in the euro’s Southgate needs sacking.
Davies has been a bit underwhelming this season, at least in my humble opinion. Cancelo's been great this season but Shaw absolutely bullied him today.I am also wondering, since I don't follow other leagues that much, is he the best LB (or even FB) in the world this season?
Maybe Hakimi or that Davies guy from Bayern could be around there? In EPL only Cancelo would be close.
Anyway, much love for Shaw, I am very happy for him.
He'll be starting for them by the end of this season if Southgate isn't an idiot.Perhaps. No unwanted injuries and he'll be England starter when he hits 27.
Still some way to go, but at least there's example of real improvement from Manchester United player.
As long as he won't be catching too much fatigue or injuries on international breaks, he should be rewarded like that.He'll be starting for them by the end of this season if Southgate isn't an idiot.
Hakimi can’t defend and Davies isn’t as good at in tight areas. He excels with his speed but as with most quick players usually switches off.I am also wondering, since I don't follow other leagues that much, is he the best LB (or even FB) in the world this season?

Yep, I can't think of another better. Southgate needs to pick him. As a United fan I'd rather not but I'm sure Shaw is desperate to prove himself at the International level and I reckon he'll be excellent. The best signing we have made post Fergie easily.Best LB in the world right now.

Don't think it's particularly close, Shaw all day.Arguably our player of the season. It's always a give away when you notice how much worse off we are when a certain player doesn't play. When Shaw doesn't play, we look weaker defensively and offensively. Hard to choose between him and Bruno for player of the year. Bruno would get my vote, but Shaw has been feckin brilliant.
Wan Bissaka has more goals in open play this season than KDBI think he should get a Player of the season nomination. Consistently brilliant.
Who else is in the running? De Bruyne, Dias/Stones, Gundogan, Bruno?

I think he’s been our player of the season so far. But best in the world? He was very good today, but he also had problems defending against Mahrez. I think we’re getting carried away if we think he’s the best in the world. If he continues like this another year, then maybe.Best LB in the world right now.
Who is currently better than him? I believe Robertson was considered the best LB around before.I think he’s been our player of the season so far. But best in the world?

Nah, he barely gets tested be another TAA when he has to actually defend no doubt.Davies
He’s been great but I feel we’re going through this every time a player has a good run. Many United fans claimed AWB was the best fb in the world, now suddenly we have both best fullbacks in the world. I think Shaw struggled defensively in first half today, and even if he might have been our best player it wasn’t really a world class performance.Who is currently better than him?

No one sensible claimed this. A few claimed he was the best defensive fb in the world (a much smaller pool of competition) and more claimed he was the best defensive fb in the league (myself included.) I would say the latter has been true all season and still is. The former probably not, but then it's so difficult to compare across leagues anyway.He’s been great but I feel we’re going through this every time a player has a good run.
