Plenty of times people clamoured for Blind or Rojo to be at LB ahead of him. Crazily, just based on pre-season I remember some guys suggesting Reece James should be ahead of him at one point.

Just madness, even he's fee was brought up loads. The same player who just made TOTY at the age of 18 with a top 7-8 team
.Memphis has a well defined upper body, that helps.
It was mad, but not unusually so for the caf. People on here are just weird, desperate to be pessimistic about our players against all logic and common sense.
Swansea 2:1 Man Utd
Best player again which tells you all you need to know about this match so far
He's going to be amazing in a season or two

He is unbelievable.
Fantastic showing again. Hard to believe he is only 20 years old.
Excellent signing. He was woeful against Spurs but after that he's back to his usual best. Keep him fit and we will have our LB sorted for at least 5 years.
Him and Smalling leading our POTY at the moment by a considerable distance I imagine.
Best player on the pitch today. If he stays at this club for a long time and develops properly, he could become the best LB we ever had at the club. Even better than Evra or Irwin, he's really young but already very good.
One of the biggest positives of this season. Such a brilliant player.
Smalling's errors today put Shaw a step ahead now.
Shaw was at fault for the 2nd goal according to some in the match day thread..
Him leaving space behind when he gets forward is to be expected but he needs to chose his moments wisely. He shouldn't be caught out so high up the pitch when we are 1-0 up.
I think he is doing very well this season, but it is true that he isn't making his choices on when to go forward and when to stay back very wisely. To be fair, the one where he was out of position for the first goal was entirely down to Rooney giving the ball away when he never, ever should've.
We're struggling to create chances, our right back is quite conservative already, and some people are saying Shaw attacks too much? Christ.
Easily our MOTM, he was excellent.
He had a good game, his error for the second goal was that he was pushing on to try and get us back in front and forgot that he needs to keep closer to Blind to cover for his lack of speed and that gap let Gomis get in, which was sloppy since we saw that was a weak spot in the first half.
Absolutely the MotM. He's been one of few shining lights this season as well as fellow defenders Darmian and Smalling.
He was maybe too far forward for the first goal but it's not his fault Rooney is giving the ball away when we've commited so many bodies forward.

Totally agree, you can't blame Shaw for not expecting Rooney to lose the ball that simple (maybe he should though with the current state/form Rooney is in nowadays)... if Shaw stays back in attacking situation like that he would just stay on the edge of our own box for 90 minutes.
He is briliant, probably our best player this season.
Excellent again today, more-so because he had a non-existant Memphis in front of him. Brilliant ball for Mata, too. I like how he takes responsibility and never shies away from the ball. The drive he provides is great to see. If every other player were on his level this season, we'd be top of the league. So far, only Smalling has been on par with him.
The youngest player in the first 11 and by far the best.
One of the few exciting things about United atm.
He's just brilliant, every single time.

Easily indeed.
Our best player atm. By far.
Hopefully he stays injury free, because I think he will be our LB for the next 10 years. And to think hes only 20. Fun watching him pick up the ball and run down the side, glad he got his assist.
Im literally having an argument with a guy on another website right now who is telling me that Shaw (and Darmian) have been shit this season and Shaw can't defend and wants to know what he even brings to the team.
I honestly don't get how people can be so dumb.

Looking well on course for this summer prediction. I thought Smalling would be a contender as well but I worried Van Gaal would be stupid enough to play Jones in front of him (probably would've been if he hadn't got injured).
Man of Match performance tonight IMO. The lad is already proving to be a great acquisition by the club.
He's competing with Kolarov for best left back in the league so far this season. Fair play to him. Long may it continue!
He's our best outfield player. Love him.
That fee is going to be chump change just like it was for Rooney and Rio. He's got so many years to go before he's even in his prime.
Thank god we did not get Baines the summer before last because we might have missed out on this talent. Maurauding fullbacks are several underrated in their attacking contributing in my own opinion.
His attacking game has come along leaps and bounds from last season and that was a thumping finish by Kane too by the way.
God.
I think he'll be one where in 10 years we'll say it was money very well spent. He has all the tools to become a United legend.
Understatement.
Very good.
He's playing with so much confidence right now, great to see.
