Manchester United left back Luke Shaw laughs off his 'Shawberto Carlos' nickname

Luke Shaw has jokingly dismissed references to his 'Shawberto Carlos' nickname which has been doing the rounds of social media in response to his impressive performances for Manchester United this season.

The 25-year-old has undoubtedly been one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's star men this season at left back and he was voted the club's Player of the Month in both February and March.

He also earned a recall to Gareth Southgate's England squad last month and as a result of his marauding style down the left wing, fans have compared him to former Brazil and Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos - but Shaw himself believes such comparisons are laughable.
