Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw said he has never been out of shape as he likened his build to former captain Wayne Rooney, while the Englishman has the backing of Jose Mourinho heading into a make-or-break season.
Shaw has struggled to establish himself under United manager Mourinho since the Portuguese boss replaced Louis van Gaal in 2016 – the former Southampton full-back limited to just eight Premier League starts last season.
Perceived weight issues and a poor diet have emerged as possible reasons behind Shaw's failure to win over Mourinho at Old Trafford, with make-shift full-back Ashley Young preferred in the starting XI.
