Carl Anka also mentioned him on the Talk Of The Devils podcast.
Maybe, I can’t remember exactly how he said it.He mentioned him more as a he wouldn’t be surprised if we start getting linked because it would be easy for journalists to do.
Without going back and listening again I think, that he came up when crunching numbers for what this United side is missing as in ball progression and some other metricsMaybe, I can’t remember exactly how he said it.
nice guys finish last.Why has he been left behind?

Sir Jim is a brute. Hopefully the guys at United take notice...Why has he been left behind?
He let it all slip away.Why has he been left behind?
Why would we get cheap cover for Shaw when we have Malacia? I don’t disagree that we could do with a left back, but one of our two left backs would need to go, and I don’t see either of them as that sellable right now, although a good Euros could change that for Shaw as he’s a top player. I could see City going for Shaw if he was available, they literally haven’t had a left back for years, and he’d be incredible for them if he was fit.We need a cheap cover/competitor for Shaw. Nice will hopefully give us the play at a cut price. Considering how many players we need next summer, the absence of top football people on the ground + FFP restraints, I won't be surprised if we utilize the Nice/French route for most signings. That means Bard, Todibo, Thuram (1 year left in his contract) and one between Moffi and Jonathan David (1 year left on his contract as well)
Shaw is ridiculously injury prone while Malacia had vanished in the treatment room (alongside his mate) throughout most of the season. Luke might be the second coming of Evra, Maldini and Irwin but football is played on the pitch not out of it.Why would we get cheap cover for Shaw when we have Malacia?

We also can’t have 3 senior left backs. As injured as they both are, both will probably be fit come August, so if they are still here, what do we do? Just treat them as if they are injured?Shaw is ridiculously injury prone while Malacia had vanished in the treatment room (alongside his mate) throughout most of the season.

In such circumstances a new player is necessary as we can't have another season were we play without a LB.
Sell one of them. At least one of them.We also can’t have 3 senior left backs. As injured as they both are, both will probably be fit come August, so if they are still here, what do we do? Just treat them as if they are injured?
I’ve seen him play. In my opinion, much ado about nothingTo be or not to be?
First thing I thought when I saw this thread. He definitely mentioned his name as a low hanging fruit for journos to use to get clicks. I'm skeptical there is truth in this.Without going back and listening again I think, that he came up when crunching numbers for what this United side is missing as in ball progression and some other metrics
Shaw can play centre back.We also can’t have 3 senior left backs. As injured as they both are, both will probably be fit come August, so if they are still here, what do we do? Just treat them as if they are injured?
The season is long, varane, Evans and Maguire are probably leaving and we have too many injuries. If berrada sticks to his '2 underperforming seasons is all you get' policy then our LB next long trip to the treatment room might be their last. I doubt we will allow anymore players to eye for Phil Jones recordWe also can’t have 3 senior left backs. As injured as they both are, both will probably be fit come August, so if they are still here, what do we do? Just treat them as if they are injured?
Which was exactly my original point.Sell one of them. At least one of them.
In the event that our actual centre backs are injured. And if they are not, and he is fit, why would you mot just play him at left back?Shaw can play centre back.
