Manchester United 3-1 Crystal Palace: 5 men who were brilliant for Solskjaer

#1 Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw was fabulous once again for Manchester United

Another game, another perfect performance from Luke Shaw. The Englishman had earned rave reviews after successfully keeping tabs on Mohamed Salah in the weekend game against Liverpool. The left back has been in fine form ever since Solskjaer took charge and has been one of the players of the season so far. Against Crystal Palace, he showed once again why he is such an asset to United.

Shaw started at left back and regularly bombed forward. Solskjaer had asked Sanchez to drop inside to make space for the Englishman to run into and it was from here that the young left back did all the damage. His passing was crisp and his control on the ball seems to have improved greatly. Shaw continuously made forward runs through the channels and caused Palace all sorts of trouble. And from one such run, United took the lead.

Taking the ball in the midfield, Shaw ran at the home team, taking on the players and venturing into the penalty area. His drive had successfully drawn the attention of the Palace defense and it had left Lukaku free. The Englishman had the presence of mind to pick out the Belgian striker, who found the back of the net. Shaw was also solid at the back and regularly covered for his centerbacks. It was a man of the match performance from the youngster which helped United win the game.
