WHAT HAPPENED?
Shaw's career has always been derailed by injuries since he burst onto the scene as a promising left-back at Southampton. Regardless, the England international has been able to make a name for himself as a reliable full-back on the international circuit thanks to his performances with Manchester United and the Three Lions. So far this season, Shaw has only played thrice in all competitions and is yet to make an appearance under Amorim following the Portuguese coach's takeover from Erik ten Hag.
