Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho continued his criticisms of Luke Shaw by suggesting that the England left-back needs a better football brain. Shaw played a key role in United’s late equaliser, with his late shot leading to a penalty. Despite making a positive impact on the game after replacing Ashley Young in the second half, Mourinho criticized Shaw at his post-match news conference. It seems Shaw is seeing the girl Mourinho has his eyes on, that is one explanation we can try give to the unending criticisms.
“Shaw has lots of potential, but the football brain and the professional brain has to be with the talent,” Mourinho said. “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.”
Mourinho however said Shaw can still have a future at Old Trafford.
“I think he has a future here, but Manchester United cannot wait,” Mourinho said. “We need the kids to grow up.
“The fantastic body he has to play football, the fantastic physical qualities and technical, but he cannot play with my brain.
“He must accelerate the process. Twenty-one years is old enough to have a better understanding, but his contribution was good to improve the team.
“He goes today in a positive feeling because his performance was positive.”
Shaw made only his second appearance since the end of January as Everton held United to a 1-1 draw.
