I have posted Luke Shaw's pre-season performances.. no way in hell any manager could watch those and not think we don't have a talent on his hands. It is preposterous to suggest otherwise. It is fitness related.. he didn't look too sharp in the reserves game, so is slowly getting back to match sharpness.

Why do people panic so much when one player plays and other doesnt.
Rooney plays as a nr.10, Mata sits on the bench - that's it, Rooney will play all the games there, Mata will be a sub and will probably leave.
Shaw doesn't play cause he isnt fit, Rojo plays as a LB - oh no LVG doesn't rate Shaw, what's happening, why did we buy him..
And Rene trolls all of us with the theory of LVG not rating Shaw and others will follow if they haven't already.
Rojo is a CB and he's bough to play there primarily, Shaw will be 1st option for LB of course with Rojo jumping in when necessary.

Agreed.
Our defence had a few shaky moments against an admittedly shambolic QPR defence, but it was still comfortable and kept a clean sheet. You can't really argue against the same starting backline in the subsequent game against Leicester, as no one really put a foot wrong and the only player who you could say deserved dropping from that performance (Evans) would have meant two left-footed centre backs in the Leicester game if it was a swap for Shaw and van Gaal doesn't approve of that.
For all our defensive frailties, building some continuity in the defence is just as key and Shaw would have undoubtedly forced his way into the first team sooner or later anyway. It's such sensationalism to suggest LVG doesn't rate him, as he hasn't featured in any of our six games this season when he was out indefinitely for four anyway.
If we'd believe all the stories LVG doesnt rate about 10 of our players.
And if it isn't in the media people make things up just because that and that player hasnt played.
I remember a story about LVG not rating Rafael, than Mata and so on. I guess he rates 2 or 3 players tops...
I'd rather have Shaw as centre back than Blind.

So LVG doesn't rate shaw but according to today's daily mirror hes told fellaini he as a future !
Yeh right
Yeh right
Really excited to see him play. I think many forget just how important a signing this was/can be. I think all the attention on Falcao and Di Maria should help Shaw settle a little easier (once he starts playing).
The pace of Shaw and Di Maria going down the left...
Copy paste the Fellaini thing in his thread, I don't read the mirror or the mail but interested to hear if he's said something about it?
Shaw was the best left back in the league last year. Utter nonsense that LvG doesn't rate him.
If he'd of been fit for Leicster and played instead of Rojo at left back, it would of went a lot better.

Agreed. It's obsurd how he's gone from one of the best young defenders in the world to 'overweight flop' within a month. He'll be a top, top player.
We need a big game from Luke, dont expect to see him bombing forward with or makeshift back four.
Man Utd 2:1 West Ham
Think he has looked very good
So confident
So confident
Yes he has been fantastic
He's fecking rapid! didn't know he was that fast.
Nice stuff. He's a seriously good one-on-one defender already. Natural talent is all there.
He's brilliant.
He's been pretty good.
Playing more restraint behind Di Maria.
Playing more restraint behind Di Maria.
Is anyone really surprised? He's top class, everyone already knew that.
Great showing so far!
Just need him to stay fit and he'll be starting games from now on. We gave him #3 for a reason. He's a class player already at such a young age.
Brilliant so far.
Been a big help in us looking more solid at the back and has the pace and power to just drive past players.
He's so strong on the ball. He doesn't always need to look up and find a one-two to get forward, he can get his head down and beat a man with pace and power.
Looks solid but a bit nervy as expected. Hopefully he "unchains the shcakles" so to speak because clearly he has bags of pace and should just keep getting forwards in support of ADM.
For his united PL debut, been very good. Not afraid to run with the ball if the pass isn't on. Has pace and also some strength on him.
Nice and composed.
Had no doubts.
Not surprised one bit. The kid is absolute quality for a 19 year old. Quick, strong and most importantly his understanding of the game is excellent.
Pacey fat fecker ain't he been very very good so far, if he can link a bit more with ADM we should be solid left side. Just said very similar of Rafael and Herrera, we look very well balanced out wide.

Just said very similar of Rafael and Herrera, we look very well balanced out wide.It sort of baffles me that our entire defense had to get injured for him to actually make his debut, really. He's obviously quality.
He goes past people with ease. Good half so far, defensively and going forward.
Shaw's been strong and has gotten forward to support attacks well. You can see the understanding between him and Di Maria needs to develop a bit, this season I don't think anyone else has done better for us at left back than Shaw though.
It's not baffling. Rojo can also play there and played very well against QPR in a game where we kept a clean sheet, so LVG decided to not change it.
Rojo should've been moved to Cb over Blackett. Not been kept at Lb.
In 1 on 1 situations, he is incredible.
Love him. Rafeal and Shaw were our best players today.
Goes alright for a obese unfit fecker
Great on his debut I think we've that LB spot covered for a very long time.
