Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has hailed “fabulous” Luke Shaw for adapting to his new-found centre-back role.
Left-back Shaw has shown his versatility in United's last two game s by moving across into central defence to partner Raphael Varane. Ten Hag was forced to deploy Shaw as a centre-back after Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire were sidelined by illness and with Lisandro Martinez unavailable following Argentina's World Cup triumph.
Shaw proved a revelation in the role, with United keeping clean sheets in both games and Ten Hag admitting the success of the experiment has given him another option in defence.
