UEFA Nations League: Luke Shaw reacts to bench role in Ten Hag’s United team

• England star reacts to bench spot in Ten Hag’s United team in the Nations League.

After the Nations League game on September 26th, 2022, England and Manchester United defender Luke Shaw expressed his dissatisfaction with his lack of playing time in Erik ten Hag‘s team.

Ten Hag has pushed summer signing Tyrell Malacia ahead of Shaw, who has stated his desire to reclaim his place in the Red Devils’ starting XI.

During the time of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford, Shaw was a mainstay as the left-back, but his form dipped last season following his impressive exploits at Euro 2020 with England.

Shaw lost his place in Ten Hag’s team after struggling in the defeats against Brighton and Brentford.

Shaw, however, has continued to be a part of Gareth Southgate’s England plans despite his inactivity at Old Trafford, and he reminded his club manager of his skills last night by scoring in the 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley.

“I think it shows the trust Gareth has in me,” he said of keeping his England place despite not playing regularly for his club.

“I look at it from a club perspective, I know the first two games weren’t good enough and fully understand the manager has to make decisions.

“Now the team has been winning and we’ve got to bide our time, the only thing I can do is keep supporting the team, keep training hard and just wait for my time because I think if I put my head down and not care it would be a bigger hill to climb when I want to play.”
