I don't know what Luke Shaw did to Jose Mourinho to make the Special One so angry at him, but it must have been really bad.
Here's what Mourinho said about the young defender earlier this week:
“It’s difficult for Shaw to be on the bench because I cannot compare him with Ashley Young, with Darmian, with Blind. I cannot compare the way he trains, the way he way he commits, the focus, the ambition. I cannot compare. He is a long way behind.”
Yikes. But all is not lost! Shaw made the bench against Everton Tuesday, came on for 25 minutes and won a penalty that gave Manchester United a draw! That's good, right?
Let's ask Mourinho:
“[Shaw] has lots of potential, but the football brain and the professional brain has to be with the talent,” said Mourinho after the match. “He has to change his football brain. He was doing things in the second half when he was reacting to my voice. If he was on the other side, for sure he would not do it. I was thinking for him and leading his performance. If he was on the other side it would not be the same and at his level it is not possible. He has to improve and we have to help.”
That's just petty.
