Shaw: Mourinho has made me stronger

Luke Shaw has had a difficult time at Manchester United since signing four years ago. From his horrible injury to his poor form and criticism from both managers he’s played for, Shaw has struggled to prove himself.

After a summer off, due to him failing to be selected for England for the World Cup, Shaw has come back playing better than ever and has credited Jose Mourinho for his resurgence.

It was a tough few years but it made me stronger mentally. I wanted to prove to him I can do what he said I couldn’t. I had a chat with the manager before the season and he said he wanted me to stay.

I’ve matured. You could say I’ve gone from a kid to a man. I know what I need to do to push myself. I want to play for Manchester United, stay there and prove my worth to the team.

I’ve seen a psychologist. My leg break was a very tough time. All the stick I’ve had in the last few years has pushed me. I wanted to prove everyone wrong and get back to what I do best. I need games to get fully fit and motivated. I’m feeling back to my old self.
