Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is the third-best creators in Europe’s top 5 league this season. Only Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund [36] and Filip Kostic of Eintracht Frankfurt [35] has created more chances than Luke Shaw [34]. Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount [32] is in 4th, while Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich is in the 5th position.
Manchester United signed Alex Telles last summer from Porto. Some people thought the Red Devils had chosen the new man over long-time first choice, Luke Shaw, in the position. However, things have not gone according to how they were expected in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad as Luke Shaw turned things around.
The English left-back has registered six assists so far this season, five in the Premier League and one in the Champions League. It equals his total of the last three seasons combined. Shaw challenged Alex Telles in a ‘healthy fight’ for the first team football and emerged as the most creative full-back in the Premier League in the process.
Luke Shaw was the ‘Player of the Month’ for Manchester United in February. His performance for the club caught the eye of England boss Garry Southgate. Luke Shaw has been called up in the England squad for the forthcoming batch of fixtures.
England used to play in with a back three, so Shaw would be required to operate as a wing-back. He is now the preferred choice over Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell. Shaw’s attacking ability will help England to create more chances.
