I was just looking at his overall worth at the moment, not implying we are a selling club. I wouldn't sell him for any price at this point.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

I think he’s the Player of the Year, not just United, but in the league. He won’t win it because he’s a left back but I really think he should.
He is a hell of a player.
Really solid, great going forward, sublime first touch and range of passing. Complete player really.
The irony is now that he is probably José wet dream. He is very intelligent when we are closing games.
I noticed this year that he is capable to wast a lot of time by faking injuries and stopping counters by tactical fouls when we need it.
I love this kind of players, and we missed it for a long time.

Obviously, he is a confident player and will show his ability when his manager is not throwing him under the bus on and off the pitch. He should use more of his cross-field crosses more. He has the ability to do it.
I also like how no one can take the ball off from him whenever he runs with it into the box.
He is probably only 2nd to Mata with great ball control and first touch in the squad. He could be a very good ball-playing CB when he loses his pace later on.

That's a difficult one. I personally wouldn't sell him as there's no viable player to replace him. 100Mil seems a ridiculous price for a full-back but then we bought Maguire for 80... I'd probably say his price is between 70-80 Mil at the moment.
Did I say anywhere that attackers don't win more plaudits. You keep going around the original point. Shaw is being given a lot of praise everywhere. Comparing him to Bruno is also not fair as Bruno has been a talisman to drag us through last half season and many times in this as well. That's also a fact. So he gets more recognition for it.
Bruno is a game changer and thus they get more plaudits.
The true indicator of being world class in your domain is making the difficult look routine and nonchalant. The metrics back up what we can see with our eyes, too. He's truly at the pinnacle of fullback performance, and I think he can continue to improve, he has that much talent.
Can the play Shaw at midfield stop already please. Why would you move him from his best position where he is having a world class season to midfield where he can be a worse player and could potentially harm his consistency just because we have weaker players there. We just need to buy better midfielders. You don't move a player who is on form from the position he is already playing.
Roma 3:2 Man Utd
Thought he was having a really poor game - especially by his standards - then Telles came on and made it look like a world class performance.
The moment early in the game where he slowly jogged to the ball before the Roma player won it was one of the most bizarre pieces of defending I've seen. Poor half from him and somehow Telles was worse.
Gets a half off and everything went to shit.
And then Shaw did a similar thing later in the half near the halfway line....clearly not up for the game today.
That was such a strange performance. He had that brilliant flick before Cavani's first goal, but overall he was really poor and looked as if he was unable to run. Basically, he looked exhausted from the start. Telles should have started, but then he started to play, and he really shouldn't have.
He wasn't at it for this game, but he wasn't particularly poor - only one instance comes to mind where he got done for pace by a Roma attacker. I think he's just set such high standards this season that a mediocre performance stands out. As bad as Telles was, I think it'll be very important to provide Shaw occasional relief next season, as we'd be fecked if he suffered a long-term injury.
Not his best game, might be one of his worst this season. But man, his first touch is special. Berbatov-like.
Hoping he doesn't play all of the next 4 games. Wouldn't mind him sitting out the Villa game actually, as the next two are tougher.

Aston Villa 1:3 Man Utd
What a player this guy has become. Dominates the whole flank by himself.
His first touch must be amongst the best in world football.
Usual stuff.
Absolute world class.
Absolute world class.
His final decision making still a bit of improvement. Once he does, he would be the best in the world.
Excellent again, wouldnt swap him for anyone
Is there a better LB in world football right now?
Shaw’s first touch is like a player on FIFA, just kills the ball dead immediately with zero effort. Another brilliant performance.
Love his link-up play with Pogba down that left flank. Beautiful stuff at times.
Remember when the caf thought he was too fat and didnt attack well enough so we needed an upgrade? I member
Did anyone hear his post-match interview?
BBC quoted him as saying "maybe we're not ready for the game"?!

A bit too casual on the ball at times in the first half but a driving force in the second.
Good game today. His one touch play has really gone up a few levels this season. Can improve his crossing. Or maybe we need to play with a proper CF like Cavani regularly for his crosses to be effective.
He exudes confidence in every game. Reads the game well, great decision making.
player of the season for me

His 1st touch should be studied, perfect.
That was in response to the comeback.Did anyone hear his post-match interview?

His first touch is absolutely ridiculous.
Player of the year.

Amazed the other day when I realised this guy is only 25 years old
So guess we're sorted in that position for a couple of years

I liked that near post shot.
Final ball a bit inconistent today but on a good day he could have had an assist and a goal.
I've said this many times but I would like a bit more attacking goal threat from him once he's in the box. A few shots rifled in, low and hard into the far post or shock he cuts inside and takes a shot with his right foot.
His positioning and dribbling on the overlap/wide has been really good so he has it in him to do more rather than looking for the pick out or 6 yard cross.

Some fans are fickle towards the manager too.
That bit of link up play on the left side in the second half between him and Pogba was mint
MoTM for me again.
Remember when people complained how Shaw didn't overlap and support. He has always done that. Rashford didn't pass him much.
But, I see a pattern changed with our wing play over these past few months. FBs are getting up, staying up more often and we use them a lot more.
It was not like that last season or even the first half of this season.

Both players with great touch and weight of pass, matched with Shaw's speed and Pogba's skill. It is a real weapon.

His fine form continues. Again our best player. World class!
