It's fair to say Luke Shaw hasn't enjoyed a purple patch of late.
The England international, 27, hasn't played in the Premier League since he was hauled off at half-time in Manchester United's 4-0 humbling to Brentford in August and some thought his World Cup hopes looked slim. Gareth Southgate, however, thought differently.
The Three Lions boss started Shaw against Germany in Monday night's 3-3 draw at Wembley and he put in a stellar performance at left-back, reminding United manager what he brings to his squad. It was a display that might just see him regain his Old Trafford spot.
