Manchester United fans love what Luke Shaw did vs Watford

Luke Shaw provided further evidence of his rejuvenation at Manchester United this season by teeing up Marcus Rashford's opener against Watford on Saturday.

The England full-back's United career looked to be over last summer after an injury-ravaged four years at Old Trafford, but the 23-year-old has asserted himself among the Premier League's best left-backs this season.

Shaw was handed a new, five year deal in October after a bright start to the campaign and has continued to impress since, making 35 appearances to date over the course of the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has entrusted Shaw with the left-back berth since taking over from Jose Mourinho in December and the former Southampton full-back has provided three assists in that time.

The latest came in United's game against Watford - Solskjaer's first in permanent charge of the Reds. Shaw quelled a Watford attack, surged up the left flank and provided a perfectly-weighted delivery for Rashford to break the deadlock.

It had taken Shaw five seasons to amass his previous three assists and United fans on Twitter were delighted with Shaw's contribution.
