His worst performance in a United shirt by some distance. Seems past it now, sadly
Nope, I've seen worse. The 7-0 game against Liverpool was far worse, he was absolutely shell shocked in that game.

Incredible that he's still here
 
He should never ever be a starter for United these days.

In fact, he should only come as a sub when we are protecting at least a 2 goal lead.

Does absolutely nothing positive, either passes the ball backwards or messes up.
 
Made a mistake for all 3 goals today. Shouldn't start at CB again for a while. I actually think we should play him as LWB since his delivery is good and Dorgu is terrible.
 
Amorim has to take some blame here. It was clear that this guy needed hooked and he kept him on for the 90. Madness.
 
Maguire should have started today to try and match haalands physicality. Pretty obvious stuff.

I could have played better than shaw today.

I could take 15 seconds to make every pass and get bullied by Haaland quite easily.
 
No outstanding abilities, and frankly I'm a bit tired of feeling sorry for him, for that awful injury, 10 years ago.

He had no physical pressure over the international break, and yet he looked absolutely out of any shape today.
 
I think his legs have gone a bit, he's lacking some of the explosiveness he used to have that allowed him to play his way out of dangerous situations. Everything is slower now, he needs an extra touch to get set and in that time the passing/running opportunities he used to find regularly have been shut down.
 
You would hope that he sees reality like Neville did and just hang up his boots. Today was tragic
 
is it ok to call him fat again?
Even then weight isn't his only problem. He seems to give up as soon as he makes first major mistake
 
In 2019 after Everton spanked us 4-0 I said at the time players had overstayed their welcome.

One of them was Luke Shaw
 
He was always awful positional wise. Only thing he had going for him was a good first touch and a bit of energy down the flanks. Even his crossing was average.

Mourinho had his number. Absurd he is still at the club.

Complete revisonism and bollocks. He has been amazing for several stretches for us, two of them lengthy ones, especially the one that overlapped with the Euros. There are points where he was our best player. Constant injuries and some pretty bad stretches have been an issue, and now he is just finished I think.
 
Shaw was our worst player tonight. He was absolutely awful and responsible for at least 2 goals that we conceded. I can't believe that he's still playing for us...
 
He had a hand in each goal unfortunately.

I think he can be a quality player but he looked awful and not very clever today.
 
Seems way off the pace in everything he does. Ponderous and leggy. Looks like he’s got Zirkzee’s Nike Air Concrete on.
 
Keano calling him out just now.

Gotten away with blue murder in his time at United.
Always injured and only looks half fit even when not injured.
Never looks bothered and can't be arsed to tackle.

Well said.
 
Some on here have convinced themselves that Martinez won’t start if this guy is fit. Sure, Martinez might not come back the player he was from such persistent injuries (incidentally, same as Shaw physically anyway); but the one thing you can’t accuse Martinez of is a lack of fight or effort. He’s the opposite of Shaw in that sense, IMO.
 
Amorim needs to get the boot just for having this complete waste of space as a regular starter every match.

It is embarrassing to have this clown on the books for 12 years already, he is barely fit and thick as a bag of rocks. Can't stand the sight of him.
 
Should have been moved on long ago. Why do we still keep hoping sicknotes will come good. Same with mount really, although he can look useful at times.

I agree with the sentiment, but if Haaland was chasing a ball through and had Martinez chasing him with space in front he would also swat him like a fly and send him back to Argentina.

I think I would prefer to see a back three of De Ligt, Maguire and Yoro if we persist with the three.

Yeah, agreed. Think I alluded to as much - Shaw has better physical traits but I’d take Martinez’s attitude and influence any day of the week. One of Shaw’s worst performances in a United shirt. Close to that 7-0 performance, sadly.
 
The poster boy for a decade of mediocrity at United.

A player like this being eligible for a testimonial is shocking, playing him continuously will get Amorim sacked.
 
He should have been sold years ago. Once again we allow players to stay even when they're clearly years out of date.
 
One of the worst performances I’ve seen from a United player today. He is big game mistakes 101.

How many matches will this guy cost us? Needs to be hooked for the next game. I rather have De Ligt, Maguire and Yoro as a back 3 and him as a wing back. At least we will get some quality in the final third with the crosses.

Dorgu needs some crossing practice, and the training to see Bruno free for a simple cut back in acres of space.

Very disappointing. EL final and now this. He is truly looking lost at this level now and can have a good game here or there, but it doesn’t work right now.

He was finished back then

Don’t be fooled by a couple of decent performances in 2020

The bad performances far outweigh the good performances. He represents the reward for failure mentality which continues to be a major issue for the club.
