#2 Attacking freedom to Luke Shaw
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to have recognized the abilities of Luke Shaw, which explains why the Norwegian has continuously selected the young Englishman in his team. In fact, ever since Mourinho’s departure, Shaw has quickly established himself as the first choice left-back and has been one of the players of the season.
Against Palace, Shaw continued in his left-back role and regularly bombed forward. As Sanchez moved inside from the left, it opened up a lot of space for the left back to run into and Shaw made great use of that area to make deadly runs from the deep.
His combination with Sanchez worked wonders and the Englishman required no invitation to take on the Palace defense. It was from one such run in the first half that United got their opening goal. Shaw embarked on a mazy run, almost taking on the entire Palace defense. That freed up Lukaku in the middle and once the Englishman entered the box, he found the Belgian in space, who scored the first goal of the game. Shaw was also involved in the build-up to the third goal and Palace had no answer to his attacking exploits.
