Luke Shaw’s recent goal for Manchester United and his strong season at Old Trafford highlight his left-back capabilities. He has featured in all 37 league games so far, showing reliability and leaving behind an injury-prone past. Michael Carrick credits Shaw’s consistency, performances, experience, and qualities for his turnaround at the club and says he deserves to go.

A separate match incident involves VAR decisions around a handball, with criticism of the time taken and the process used.

"Let's get this out of the way, it was handball. In a game with more on the line this latest VAR aberration would be hoisted up by abolitionists as another egregious example of why football is no better for the involvement of Stockley Park. I think we need to have a meeting together to understand when it is a handball, said a measured Vitor Pereira post-match. We need a meeting to understand what good process is."
"From the original incorrect decision to award the goal, it took the VAR three minutes to look at the ball clearly striking Bryan Mbeumo's hand, then another 60 seconds for the referee, Michael Salisbury, to go over to the screen and look at it again, only to ignore the referral and decide he was right the first time. That is far too long to make the wrong call. Pereira neatly summed it up w"
