The 2019 Player of the Year Awards will be held at Old Trafford on Thursday 9 May, and the Swede has named Shaw alongside Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford as the colleagues he expects to contest the accolade, which is determined by the players’ own votes.
Asked who he would be considering for the prize, our no.2 told the official matchday programme United Review:
“It’s a difficult question. If you look right from the start of the season to now, then Luke Shaw has been performing well throughout the season.
“Then there are other players, such as [Paul] Pogba, for example, who has played well and scored goals, and also Rashy [Marcus Rashford] has performed very well.
