Nothing sums up Jose Mourinho's contradictory — and often controversial — management of Manchester United better than the case of Luke Shaw.
The England defender appears to be in limbo at Old Trafford, stung by Mourinho's decision to replace him at half-time against Brighton at the weekend and then criticise him in public once again.
'I was not happy with his performance,' said Mourinho. 'I had to change one full back and I chose Luke because at least Antonio (Valencia) defensively was capable of some good positionings.'
Mourinho is frustrated that he cannot get more out of Shaw, a player once talked about as one of the brightest prospects in the English game.
