Luke Shaw Crisis of Confidence in the Mourinho Era

Manchester –

Luke Shaw is enjoying his best performance together Manchester United. However, Shaw experienced a crisis of confidence when trained Jose Mourinho.

United’s left-back was only played 55 times by Mourinho for about 1.5 seasons. In that period, Shaw only created one goal and three assists in all competitions.

Not only his poor performance, Shaw’s relationship with the Portuguese manager was not harmonious enough. Mourinho did not hesitate to criticize the English footballer openly. Once, Mourinho claimed that Shaw played well against Everton because “I made every decision for him.”

In the process Jose Mourinho dismissed in December 2018 to be replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. In the hands of the Norwegian manager, Luke Shaw managed to revive his career after nearly being sold off.

This season Shaw has impressed with one goal and five assists in 25 appearances in the Premier League. The 25-year-old footballer has finally been recalled to the England national team, and many have named him the best defender in England today.

“I don’t want to be like me when I was a kid who couldn’t afford to be under pressure at a club the size of Manchester United,” Shaw told Sky Sports. “You will always be under pressure and under the spotlight. That is what makes you tougher mentally.”

“But I had no confidence at that time. I lost my faith. I think that’s what changed with Ole. He set me right and I got my confidence back and I’m enjoying it right now.”

“Joy and confidence. For me, those dual things are the biggest things you need on the pitch. You need faith in your ability to perform at the highest level. I feel I have it now,” he said. Shaw reminiscing about hard times to train Jose Mourinho.
