Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho makes huge U-turn on defender Luke Shaw: 'I don’t see many left-backs better than this'

Luke Shaw is growing into one of the best left-backs in the Premier League after reviving his career at Manchester United, claims Jose Mourinho.

The England left-back has started the last five games for United – his best sequence since breaking his leg at PSV Eindhoven in September 2015 – and is expected to play at Burnley on Saturday even though Ashley Young is available again after suspension.

Shaw has already moved ahead of Daley Blind, who will miss the trip to Turf Moor through injury, and Matteo Darmian in the pecking order after falling out of favour with Mourinho a year ago.
