How about we look a lot more defensively solid when Shaw's playing, as proven by his clean sheet to games ratio compared to Youngs. He offers more natural width, more unpredictability, he opens up space for attackers more than Young does. Our attacking set up and end product relies more on the the left winger rather than the full back when Shaw is playing. We play better football when Shaw is in the side.
Shaw has played against Stoke, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Burnley and SOTON at home this season, Everton and 23 minutes CP game away. Wonder why his clean sheet to games ratio compared to Young's is better.
How does he offer 'more natural width'? Does he run through the stands now? Unpredictability? In what sense? He opens up space for attacks? He's doing all of this stuff that Young apparently doesn't and he doesn't have a fecking
single assist to his name this season, whereas Young has 7? 0 goals for United being here 4th season (one season out due to leg break). He isn't better than a 32 year old winger/#10 converted to a defender. Let that sink in. Nevermind the fact that Young himself isn't a Cafu reincarnated.
He doesn't offer shit, that's his problem. He isn't Philip Lahm defensively, he doesn't offer anything offensively, he isn't half as fit (strength, stamina, you call it) as Valencia, his fitness and desire to play has always been questioned (LVG, Mourinho, his ex managers too, even before his United days). This shit has been done to death, if somebody's at fault for his situation, it's Luke Shaw himself.
