Shaw’s Role May Make Him ‘Undroppable’…
Luke Shaw played in every Manchester United pre-season game, kickstarting his season against Arsenal with a flair that could rival a magician pulling rabbits out of hats. His early, dramatic challenge was like watching a lion pouncing in slow motion, but he quickly turned into the pride of the pitch, keeping Bukayo Saka silent. Despite past injuries making Shaw’s reliability as stable as a jelly on a trampoline, his potential consistently shone through, once even being hailed as the world’s top left-back in 2020/21. While injuries have been the pesky goblins of his career, it seems his chance to shine brightly is upon us again.
With Manchester United skipping European competitions this year, Shaw’s calendar is emptier than a dietician’s sugar jar. This might just be the recipe for fitness success! Competing with the likes of Martinez and Ayden Heaven, Shaw has the upper hand with a starting position already in the bag. Ruben Amorim describes him as “special,” like those rare moments when you actually find your TV remote control on the first try. Shaw’s got the talent; now he just needs to turn it into a season-long spectacle that fans will cheer for, week after glorious week.
