Star man finally settling at Old Trafford

Date published: 10 November 2014


Luke Shaw is finally finding his feet at Manchester United.

United fans voted Shaw man of the match on Saturday after an energetic and uplifting display in the 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace.

The 19 year old impressed throughout and almost scored his first pro goal after a surging 50–yard run from his own half.

Shaw endured a rocky start to his Old Trafford career, having turned up pre–season out of shape. Four months on, he has found contentment.

“I feel at home now,” the England left–back admitted. “Everyone has been really good with me, not just the players but the staff as well. They have made me feel really welcome and now I just want to keep on improving, working hard in training and get the best out of myself.”

Shaw brought the Old Trafford crowd to their feet on Saturday when his run and low shot on goal was tipped just wide by Julian Speroni. The teenager promises the United supporters it won’t be the last time they see that this season.

“It’s something I have in my ability and I think I can do more of it,” Shaw said. “When chances come for me like that I tend to run forward like that. It was a good save. Hopefully soon a goal will come.”
