Mourinho: Shaw is playing better and better and better at Euro 2020
The Manchester United left-back was voted as the Three Lions’ man of the match in a fan poll after providing two assists in the 4-0 quarter-final victory in Rome.
Shaw appears to have cemented his place as Gareth Southgate’s first-choice left-back at these finals, a fitting reward for an impressive season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at United.
Shaw hits back at former Man Utd boss Mourinho in scathing criticism: Clearly I’m in his head
The former Southampton man has enjoyed arguably the strongest 18 months of his career, a far cry from a difficult spell when Mourinho was in charge at Old Trafford, when the Portuguese would often single out Shaw for criticism.
Mourinho took aim at Shaw again after England’s group-stage win over the Czech Republic, claiming his delivery from corners was “dramatically bad”. That prompted a response from the player, who accused his old boss of having a “strange” personal agenda, adding: “Clearly, I’m in his head.”
However, Mourinho appeared far more impressed with Shaw’s display in the Italian capital on Saturday (July 3), saying the form of England’s defenders means Southgate should resist any temptation to revert to a back three for the semi-final against Denmark.
