Luke Shaw at left-back
Back to Basics
When Luke Shaw is fully fit, it’s likely he’ll slot back into his familiar left-back role, restoring some balance on that side of the pitch.
This move could also benefit Marcus Rashford, who has formed a brilliant partnership with Shaw over the years.
Their connection might reignite some much-needed attacking threat down the left.
Manchester United have also had occasional issues with their full-backs this season.
Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot, struggling to find the right balance between inverting or staying wide, have inadvertently disrupted the team’s build-up play at times.
Shaw’s return could simplify this and bring more structure to United’s buildup.
After his summer signing from Bayern Munich, Noussair Mazraoui has quickly impressed fans with his press resistance, ability to twist under pressure, and defensive prowess.
Many supporters are wondering how he could possibly be dropped.
However, Diogo Dalot has been consistently solid as well.
It’s a tough decision for Erik ten Hag, but he’ll likely be relieved to have the luxury of choosing who to leave out rather than struggling to find someone to keep in the lineup for once.
