Him and Zenchinko are the best LBs in the league and probably in Europe too

This isn’t just ‘form’ though. He’s probably in the best moment of his career but his baseline level has been good since 19/20, except for last season when the whole team imploded and he had a tough time with niggling injuries again. If any other player performs well 3 out of recent 4 seasons, they sure wouldn’t have all the question marks about drive and competition accompanying them.Been one of his bigger critics and questioned his attitude in the past.
He's really kicked on. Really hope he keeps this form up, he's a top quality player when he's playing like he has.
He was pretty poor last season.This isn’t just ‘form’ though.

The pass was slightly behind where he'd want it as well but he had the awareness to use his body to block the player behind him and kind of use that 'bump' he receives as momentum before swinging the cross in.Is there a better left-back in the world right now? I doubt it.
I know it's a week ago, but the way he brought down that Sabitzer pass, shrugged off a defender and placed the most perfect cross on Rashfords head, was just sublime.

This is somethings people don't take notice, Luke Shaw had a very good world cup. He has been the our most consistent player.is he the Best LB in the world atm? Good WC too/
I'm not so sure he is.He is an up and down player
That injury at PSV was so horrific. It only delayed his developed thankfully but he was excellent at start of that season and was showing everything we get to see years later.Fantastic player. He‘s finally hit that consistency to become one of the best in the world for his position. I can see him being a centre-back full time once he loses that yard integral to be a full back.
As an aside, his PSV scar is pretty grim

Yeah... I don't think people outside United fans realise how great he is... Certainly his technical level anywayHe's a sensational player.
He doesn't get enough credit by the media.
Cant really disagree with that, a good point. I think part of the problem was that last season Telles was garbage and there was the argument that he has only performed with gompetition for his place at times, I mean could even use that argument this season.This isn’t just ‘form’ though.

He's more experienced and maturing, because of his injuries, in football terms his experience and maturity levels are probably about the same as Rashford's even though he's a couple of years or so older - I think we always knew he had it in him, we just didn't know if he'd reach the level he's now atWhat Luke Shaw is developing is football intelligence. Moment, type of, weight and creative passes.
Long may it continue.
Probably, no one se comes to mind at the moment.is he the Best LB in the world atm? Good WC too/
He started to put it together in 18/19 and was on an upward trajectory till the Euros as you said. Last season was the only setback but he had multiple injuries and I think had surgery due to his old leg break at the end of the season.Not sure why so many are saying it's taken this long for him to put it together? He was greaf in the season leading up to the Euros, people were calling him Shawberto Carlos and all that. Pretty much all the England team players we have were terrible post Euros last season, as it was a long season with 1) no pre-season break (covid) 2) no post season break due to the Euros run. So effectively players like Shaw played 10 (2020) + 50 (2021) + 8 (euros) + 30 (21/2022) games in a row with no break.
Tbh I've always thought he was good, even in those dark Mourinho days, where he'd get one game a month, look very good but still be benched by Mourinho for 'attitude' issues and whoever was the crapper player we played at LB at the time.
