When Tyrell Malacia signed for Manchester United and subsequently worked his way into the starting XI as Luke Shaw toiled, many fans expected the England full-back to struggle regain his starting spot. But now many see the 27-year-old as undroppable.
After coming back into the fold following the derby drubbing, Shaw has started regularly for United and showed his superiority to Malacia as an attacking full-back. And given that the out-of-form Jadon Sancho has often been starting on the left wing, he needs the support.
If United fans still needed to be convinced that Shaw should start over Malacia at the moment, then they should look to the 27 minutes Shaw played against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night.
