Despite England’s 2-1 lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 finals, England’s manager Gareth Southgate has single out Man United Man United’s Man as the star of the match after his sensational performance.
Manchester United defender Lukw Shaw put in a performance to be proud of for England in difficult circumstances.
Luke Shaw when fit is England’s best left-back. And he was certainly the best available left-back in the England squad at Euro 2024 even if he was only 75 per cent fit.
But England boss Gareth Southgate put him in a difficult position in the Euro 2024 final, asking Shaw to make his first start in five months, going up against Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
It would have been somewhat understandable in the circumstances if Shaw had played poorly.
“I thought Luke Shaw did a good job on him, particularly in the first half, for a guy that hasnt played since February.
“We talked about the physicality of the game for a youngster and you saw a bit of that in the first half, Shaw is a big unit.”
