Our no.23’s spectacular showings this season, which have helped him claim our Player-of-the-Month awards for February and March, led to him being dubbed ‘Shawberto Carlos’ by some United fans on social media.
The tongue-in-cheek reference is clearly a nod to the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan man’s seemingly limitless engine and prowess for the spectacular – like Shaw, Carlos would bomb up and down the pitch and he scored an impressive 69 goals during a decade at the Bernabeu, in which he helped a classic La Liga side win three Champions League titles.
As well as catching the eye as one of the 'Galacticos', Carlos also starred for his national side for 14 years.
