Shaw is back in favour

LUKE Shaw has linked up with the Manchester United squad ahead of the clash with Everton having held talks with Jose Mourinho.

Omitted from the 18-man squad to face West Brom on Saturday, the United boss afterwards launched a scathing attack on the left-back in which he questioned the 21-year-old's fitness and attitude.

Having been made aware of the criticism on Sunday evening, it is understood Shaw held a meeting the following day with Mourinho to discuss those comments at the Aon Training Complex.

The talks appear to have led to a breakthrough, no matter how small, after the England defender was seen checking into United's team hotel ahead of tonight's Premier League clash with Everton.
