Luke Shaw praises Erik ten Hag approach at Manchester United after dropping Marcus Rashford
Luke Shaw has praised Erik ten Hag for his disciplined approach since taking charge of Manchester United.
The Dutchman has brought authority back to the managerial role at the club and made it clear that he isn’t afraid to drop any player who isn’t up to his elite standards.
Ten Hag dropped Marcus Rashford from the starting line-up for United’s trip to face Wolves on Saturday following an ‘internal disciplinary’ issue involving the forward.
Rashford netted the only goal of the game when he was brought on at half-time, with Alejandro Garnacho selected ahead of him from the start.
Speaking after the 1-0 win, Shaw was asked about Ten Hag’s authoritative approach following the decision to drop their in-form striker.
“People can’t do whatever they want, maybe that has been the problem in the past – people getting away with silly little things,” Shaw told BT Sport.
“At a top club like this it has to be like that, there has to be discipline. The manager takes all of that into consideration. People have got away with silly things before. Like you’ve seen today, if you don’t do the little things right then you won’t play.”
Ten Hag will be hoping that Rashford has learned his lesson from any mistakes he made and Shaw has praised the forward after another match-winning display.
He added: “When you have someone like Marcus Rashford coming on, you know a goal is coming.
“He is in a really good way at the moment, really positive and really happy. He is world class and can be one of the best in the world if he keeps going.”
