Jose Mourinho was full of praise for Luke Shaw after he played through the pain barrier to ensured we beat Anderlecht yesterday.
Jose Mourinho was impressed by Luke Shaw's attitude in the game
Our rejuvenated left-back played the entire 120 minutes even with cramp but the man himself offered to play on rather than be substituted when we needed another forward.
And the boss was delighted with the defenders mentality and perseverance.
"I always trust the players with special mentality," Mourinho said. "Always trust them. Luke Shaw did something new today, it means a lot for me.
"After 90 minutes, before I know that I have to change Zlatan, he had cramp, I had Ashley Young ready to come on, and he told me I'm going to play for 30 minutes with cramps, no problem.
"He said if you need to make a change in another position I am ready for it.
It's definitely good to see Luke Shaw back in the starting lineup, we signed him to be there for over 10 years, the perfect Patrice Evra replacement.
And from his performances in the last 3 games, the boss has already hinted Shaw will start a third straight game against Burnley on Sunday.
