ENGLAND DEFENDER LUKE Shaw would grade himself a C- for his first season at Manchester United and says he is “one of the luckiest 19-year-olds to be alive”.
Shaw’s debut campaign at Old Trafford has been interrupted by persistent injury problems, making 13 Premier League appearances since joining from Southampton for a reported £28million.
“It’s been a frustrating one because of the injuries I’ve picked up but I’m loving it [at United],” he told Match of the Day magazine.
“If I was to write a school report on my first season here I’d give myself a C-.
“You don’t realise just how big Man United is until you’re actually here — it’s frightening. It is the biggest club around.
“I’m playing with the likes of Wayne Rooney, [Angel] Di Maria, [Radamel] Falcao and it’s weird because my friends always talk about them, saying how good they are and I’m just thinking “Wow, I play with them”.
“I’m probably one of the luckiest 19-year-olds to be alive.”
United visit leaders Chelsea on Saturday, but Shaw is a doubt with a hamstring problem.

A big fat F
Much improvement needed…staying fit next season will certainly help too. Since Blind has gone LB he looks much more assured.
N/A would have applied here.
Shaw has been as good for United as Balotelli has been for Liverpool.
Usual English thing of getting hyped up, then knock em down every chance they get. Would be a help if he got himself fit, Blind looks way better left back.
Dugzy would give him an A+
Where is Dugzy ?
^^lol
Shut up !!
Waterford United? Stupid headline
there is only one United Chris
He has been poor for us this year,he looks overweight too!No coincidence since blind has went LB that performances as a team have improved!
I think the over weight thing is rubbish and a general label thing. he’s a professional and you only have to look at him to say he isn’t over weight. He’s just had an injury hit season. No international football this summer, take a break, come back focus on fitness. Think he will come good.
