Well, clearly Luke Shaw has being doing some serious preparation for the season, based on pictures from training. Must of been considerable effort put in.

As we all know, the overriding issue is going to be his fitness. He was 30 a couple of day's ago so still relatively young. If he maintains the fitness then he can still contribute, even as back up for various positions.

We shall see, not exactly consumed by optimism!

From what I have been reading, Amorim and his coaches have given very specific individual training plans to the players during their time off. I think a significant change going into next season will be our fitness levels.

Sounds like you are to me.

He's still our best LWB when fit, imo. Unpopular opinion, I know.

{Ed025's Note - has he ever been fit Noucamp?..

Let's hope he has an injury free season and can be offloaded at the end of it.

We've hoped for an injury free season since 2014 when he joined. The unfortunate reality is he has missed more games than he has played. He's not someone to be relied on and should have been moved on a long time ago like some of the others.

He’s had a good 18 months in his entire united career

Any other top club would have got rid of him by now.

Amazes me why he is still at the club.

Agree Kurtis, that has been exactly the problem, hence, let's hope this year is his year to be injury free. Not expecting a huge role from him, and if the club is smart, which they are not, they will manage him to keep him exposed sufficiently to maintain his stock and avoid injury. Then sell.
Jeez he could even get to Xmas and sell then!

Guys, I'm not arguing he should still be here. My point is, rather worryingly, he is still the best we have in that position. I fully expect him to be our regular LWB.

Providing he doesn't get injured during pre-season of course ?.
