One of the most prominent features on a soccer pitch is the physical strength and skill of its players, a certain player dominating a game with brutal strength can completely shift the momentum in a match.
Perhaps that’s exactly what happened as Manchester United defender Luke Shaw displayed raw physical power to help his team early during their win against Newcastle United.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s second debut for the Red Devils was a memorable one as he scored twice, with Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard also netting in a dominant 4-1 victory.
The former Real Madrid and Juventus player was the talk of the town, but one Manchester United player that flew under the radar was Luke Shaw.
He left Miguel Almiron on the floor in the 9th minute of the game, which perhaps set the tone for the match.
After many months in the wilderness under former manager Jose Mourinho, Luke Shaw has finally found his feet under Solskjaer.
The left-back was one of England’s best players at the summer European Championships and is currently one of the first names in the starting lineup for the Red Devils.
Shaw has taken his game to a new level, with creativity and dynamism becoming key traits of his game.
The 26-year-old has an abundance of confidence now, and it showed when he shrugged off the Paraguayan star with utter ease at Old Trafford –
