Manchester United are heaping praise on Luke Shaw after his masterclass performance in their 3-0 victory over Bournemouth.

The England star returned to his natural position of left-back for the clash after a string of matches deployed as a centre-back.

What a return it was, as the 27-year-old notched a goal while putting in a top performance all round the pitch.

Shaw had an impressive 87 per cent pass accuracy and successfully delivered the ball 83 times to his teammates in the 90 minutes he was on the pitch - three of those being key passes.

The left-back completed five long balls and made three clearances as he helped United pick up yet another clean sheet - while also completing one successful cross and one successful dribble.

Capping off his performance was his goal in the 49th minute, as he swept home an Alejandro Garnacho cut-back to complete a beautiful free-flowing move.

Fans have flooded to social media to sing Shaw's praises as he continues to impress under new boss Erik ten Hag this season.

One fan posted: 'Luke Shaw truly rejuvenated under Ten Hag. A fully focused Luke Shaw is just treat to watch his 1st touch, link-up play, passing, defending, his crosses in the final third and finishing just world-class.

'Really happy to see the 'Shawberto Carlos' is back!'

A second said: 'One week he’s doing it at centre back. The next at left back. Luke Shaw is an OUTRAGEOUS player.

A third tweeted: 'I can’t even comprehend how good Luke Shaw is. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

'His first touch, his link-up play, his dribbling, his passing, his crossing, his defending. All world class.

Another added: 'LUKE SHAW I AM ON MY FEET APPLAUDING YOUR GENIUS.'

Others have even dubbed Shaw as the 'best left-back in the world' at present ahead of some real big-name stars.

A fan said: 'Best Left-back in the world, Luke Shaw.

Another agreed: 'Luke Shaw has comfortably been the best left-back in the world this season, world class!'

Shaw has become an integral part of Erik ten Hag's squad, having featured 19 times in all competitions already this season.

He was also an ever-present for England at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, showing his importance for both club and country this campaign.
