Romelu Lukaku believes Luke Shaw 'has been Manchester United's player of the season'

Romelu Lukaku believes Luke Shaw has been Manchester United's player of the season as he hailed the turnaround of the defence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian has proven a popular appointment since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, winning 11 of his first 14 games.

A return to the attacking brand of football that was abandoned under Mourinho has earned Solskjaer plenty of plaudits but four clean sheets in their last four domestic games has proven there is a newfound defensive solidity too.
