Luke Shaw insists 'Arsenal deserve to be top' after the Manchester United full-back endured a torrid afternoon against Bukayo Saka and admits the Premier League leaders handed Erik ten Hag's side a 'reality check'

Luke Shaw has brazenly admitted that Manchester United deserved to lose their action-packed Premier League clash with league leaders Arsenal at The Emirates on Sunday.

Eddie Nketiah scored in the 90th minute to wrap up a hard-fought 3-2 victory for the hosts, extending their unbeaten home run, and moving five points clear ahead of chasing Man City at the top of the table.

United full-back Shaw endured a difficult afternoon up against his Three Lions teammate Bukayo Saka, with the Arsenal winger scoring in the first-half to pull Mikel Arteta's side level.
