Our fullbacks should be starting for England at the Euros, they probably won't be cos Gaz is a dumb cnut.
Shaw is our best full back and best FB in Europe (edited)

Collosal performance from him today. One for the ages
Best fullback in the league currently, by a distance.
Very composed. He’s absolutely brilliant for us in this form. Long may it continue.

I love that he's finally using his frame properly now.
He's always been broad which led to the nonsense 'fat' jibes but what he's done over the past 2 seasons is put on a lot of muscle and he's an absolute machine now - similar to Kyle Walker in that respect but Lukes far better on the ball than he is.
He's a wrecking ball at full pelt
What a run and what a finish

Very impressed by Shaw. He’s definitely among the best FBs in PL. Difficult to say who’s the best. Probably no clear winner. Zintsjenko is also a very good FB.
Carries the ball brilliantly. Some might say “attacking the space”, but I won’t...
Whether he’s the best in the league, couldn’t care less, he’s doing great for us.
he’s been managed well for the first time, probably since he was at Southampton.

I never watch other teams (CL semifinals and onwards excluded). So, please, enlighten: is there any LB in the world who’s better than Luke Shaw this season? The level of his play is unbelievable. He is in Europe’s top 5 “most chances created” players, being the only defender in the list.
Alphonso Davies is up there. Let’s see how far Bayern goes in CL. But Shaw’s doing great atm.
Thanks. Still Shaw must be a little better because United is not Bayern (and because he is insanely good), no?
Zinchenko has been very good, bordering on excellent but I'd still give it to Shaw.
It sounds really stupid but I think Davies has been absolutely underwhelming this season. Robertson has been even worse recently, Alba is declining rapidly and generally, there is a shortage of top LBs these days. So yeah, imo, Shaw has been the best LB in the world this season. Watch Southgate pick Chilwell, Saka, Delph and Trippier as the LBs at the Euros
feck it, he is best in the world
He decided to take over and like that the game was over.
I’ve always been a fan of his but I can’t believe how good he’s been this season.
I loved him since day one but the thing what he does this season is amazing. Playmaking full back. If he is playing for any other club, Pep would offer 100mil for him
Mourinho would've swapped him for Danny Rose. Thank the Woodward
Jose did a lot of shit wrong, but I genuinely think if it wasn't his tough love Shaw wouldn't be the player he is now. He seems absolutely impervious to pressure.
@GifLord clip of the pass to Rashford is needed. 71st minute?
He was fecking great again
Just everything about that is perfect. He's some player
Best FB in the world
You're joking.
It was Jose who utterly stalled him for 18months longer than he should have been stalled.
Without any doubt he's the best English left back.
Surely no chance Southgate doesn't see that.

One way of looking at it
Shaw has always been a very calm and mature player under pressure or not. Apart from being such a physical beast, it's why he was such a prospect as a 18 year old.
Even after all the 'tough' love from LVG and Mourinho, his form when actually given a run of games and support was always good i.e it was independent of how his managers treated him.
Obviously, he's a lot older now and has matured so by virture of those experiences under LVG/Mourinho, you can say 'it helped him' but that's giving massive benefit of the doubt. Call it as you see, Mourinho was a cnut to most of our team.
It might be a stretch but Luke Shaw level this season...One of the United best players I’ve ever seen. IQ, composure passes, technique, crosses, defending. He is a playmaker
Kevin De Bruyne at left back.
I love the fact that everyone expected him to be just a pacey kind of full back at the beginning of career. But he’s morphing into the kind of left back that Pep would spend his whole transfer budget on.
I know we had a thread about Fred at left back, it’s getting to the point where I think Shaw would do fine in midfield.

Wow
Im getting serious Lahm vibes from him this season
I think he'll be first choice for the Euros.
Nah, he was always technically brilliant at Southampton. The scary thing is, I think the leg break robbed him of a bit of pace yet he's still this good.
First touch is as good as the pass. He has the best first touch at the club.
Genuinely. I agreed he stalled somewhat during that time, but now that period is over, its like absolutely nothing phases him. The bloke is the complete LB. Not just physically, tactically and technically, but mentally he is top drawer, and I believe the difficult period he had with Jose helped that.
It's an unpopular opinion. I accept that.One way of looking at it
He was, and for the vast majority of the team, it hindered them. I think Shaw is a better player having come through that. He was me measured before; now he's imperious.
He would be good in midfield no doubt. His touch and control is class.
But I'd think you'd lose a lot by moving him.
No question about it
