Luke Shaw makes Manchester United player of the year admission

Luke Shaw admits that no Manchester United player deserved to win the club's player of the year award for their efforts last season.

United finished the season trophyless and without Champions League football after a torrid campaign which saw them struggle under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Shaw was one of few standout players during the previous season and as such was named as the club's best performer for his consistent displays, however he thinks he didn't necessarily deserve it.

Although the 24-year-old acknowledges the improvement in his game, he believes the previous season was 'embarrassing'.

"From a personal point of view, it was a better season than I have had for a while but I still think I can do much better," Shaw told Sky Sports.

"I didn't really feel like anyone deserved the player of the year award because of the season we had as a team. There is more to come from me and everyone needs to be better because last season was somewhere near embarrassing.

"We were all very disappointed. It hurt even more that there were so many English teams around us who were playing in finals and had done well while we were just on holiday. There was nothing we could do about it other than watch the games and think. Of course it hurt. We all felt it. We have a lot to prove this season and I am sure we will.

"We are going to have a much better season."
