Knew this'd happen when putting him straight in starting lineup. Should give players returning from long term injuries time in the U23s to build fitness.

his passing was very good created a couple of decent openings, and intercepted ball well high up the pitch which seemed to be the only way to create stuff today.. you are watching different game it seems. He only fail to deliver a better cross on two occassions
Doesn't look like he knows what to do
Does anyone else notice how he positions himself in the centre of the pitch in the opponents 3rd at times? I like it.
He keeps ending up around the centre, just outside the box. I saw Rojo gesturing to Shaw to get wide but he keeps moving into a central position. Shouldn't he be around the touchline giving us width and helping stretch their defense.
He's a bit timid to push forward and get the turbo jets working. Definitely playing within himself.
Needs a few games to get match fitness and confidence up it seems.
We cant afford to give him that luxury in League games though.

Pre season 2017 will be key for him because I can't see him getting many chances this season if he play like this. But we all know the class he's got when fit so fingers crossed.
Clearly lacks match fitness as I thought he was terrible first half. Offered nothing going forward and was caught out of position a few times somehow ending up at right back 
I love this kid but he looks like an empty shell of a player and I now understand why he is not playing.
Hes honestly shite. Can't cross to save his life and rarely ever makes the overlap.
Compare him to Evra and you'll see a massive difference. We need to sign a better LB.

You had Evra in his prime. Shaw is a kid
U23 football is the obvious thing to do.
This from the guy whose favourite players last season were Rojo and Fellaini
Give him a bit of time, wow its ridiculous in here. Compare a player coming back after a season long injury, and then a smaller injury and being dropped and thrown under the bus to one of the greatest fullbacks of his generation in his prime? No just let him get rid of the rustiness and we'll see. Shaw is class on his day and will be going straight to the top, he's defensively superb although his crosses have never been a strong point.
Fellaini's done more in the red shirt and Rojo has been one of our best players this season. What has Shaw done since coming here 3 seasons ago?
bizarre statement.
Has Mourinho been blooding the players through the reserves? It seems logical but I can't remember him doing it
Nope. Seems silly really as you end up with a player's first minutes of football after a long injury being watched by millions worldwide.
It's a bit hypocritical laying into someone playing their first half of football in months when you spent so much time defending two of our worst performers from last season.
Fellaini was a big factor in our FA Cup win. So not sure what you're going on about.
He played well in one game against West Ham, but sure.
Nice cross to Martial just then.
Thought he was really good defensively today, which our other LBs this season haven't been good at. Would like to see him get a start in the next game too.
We're just gonna ignore the goal against Everton and assist in the final then? And thats not counting his overall performances which played a big part.
90 mins and did fine
If he wants to make it here he needs to stop leaving those gaps down his flank. Anyone better than Wigan and it will cost us.
A solid game from him, hopefully Mourinho starts him till the end of the season.
He looked lazy with his tracking back at times. Needs to improve.
Some of the guys who post in here are completely clueless. Calling Luke Shaw a poor footballer is idiotic. He has good technical abilities and once he gets into his groove, he will be very good.
Was nice to see him back.
Needs a long run of games, did OK I thought.
Honestly, I dont' remember much of him unless I tried to look for him, but he didn't screw up today. Decent considering he hasn't played properly for over two months. Hopefully there's more to come as I've had it with Darmian.
90 minutes, that's what it's all about.
Shaw did fine for a first game in a while. Made a few surges forward, got in some crosses, defended reasonably well. Sure he could have done more, overlapped more but so could most of the team.
At about 50% today and still better than any of our options at LB.
Looked good going forward but a bit slow and unfit, understandably.
Just play him.

Not great but did well enough to deserve more game time. Needs more confidence. And more urgency in tracking back.
The physical skills are still there but he looks very short on confidence. Didn't try to overlap too much (like before) or take on his man too much (saw Rooney yell at him for that). Hope Mou gives him a couple of more matches to work his way back.
Done ok.
The most worringly thing is he looked a bit lost as to when to push forward or when to sit. Neither here or there with his off the ball position and movement. Hopefully he gets more games.
There was a run in the first half that was vintage Shaw. Quick touch to get ball out of feet, push it past the defender and sped past him. Need more instinctive and head down play like that to improve his confidence.
Good run out.

Basically, this. He offered more going forward than Darmian has at any point this season. We need to consistently play him.
Wasnt bad. Offers more attacking wise than Darmian.
