The in-form Red defended excellently but caught the eye most for his two wonderful assists: the first to set up Harry Maguire’s thumping header and the second for two-goal hero Harry Kane.
Shaw now has three assists to his name at Euro 2020 and only Switzerland’s Steven Zuber has more on four, although his elimination from the competition leaves Luke with an opportunity to overtake him.
Speaking on the BBC following England’s impressive quarter-final victory on Saturday night, former Three Lions captain and United hero Ferdinand expressed his admiration for Shaw’s display.
“He’s had a real burst of form and this season he has been fabulous,” said Rio.
