Luke Shaw admits he understands why he was dropped from the Manchester United line-up by Erik ten Hag after a poor start to the season.
The England international began the new campaign as United's first choice at left-back, but after disastrous defeats to Brighton and Brentford, he has lost his place to Tyrell Malacia. United's summer signing arrived at the club as a back-up option, but it didn't take long before he was thrown in at the deep end against Liverpool, and he hasn't looked back since.
Malacia, 23, has taken his chance, and now the onus is on Shaw to fight back and reclaim his starting spot, just as he had to do two years ago when Alex Telles was signed from Porto. Shaw sent a timely reminder with his encouraging England performance on Monday night, grabbing a goal in their 3-3 draw against Germany in the Nations League.
