Man Utd news: Luke Shaw is fighting ‘two battles’ - Jose Mourinho is one of them
MANCHESTER UNITED defender Luke Shaw has been fighting two battles ever since breaking his leg three years ago, claims former England defender Stephen Warnock.
He’s battling, trying to get back into the Manchester United team with a lack of confidence, not only from his manager, but confidence in himself

“You often hear people say it’s better to break your leg than to have ligament damage, a knee injury, something like that,” Warnock said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“And it is to a certain degree, but when you have a real bad one…
“I was sat in a hospital bed and the doctor came in and said: ‘Listen I’ll tell you now brutally, you might not play football again’.
“And you’re lying in a hospital bed thinking ‘Well I haven’t even got to be playing football yet at a professional level and that could be taken away from me’.

“I was very fortunate and Luke probably feels the same himself.
“He’s battling, trying to get back into the Manchester United team with a lack of confidence, not only from his manager, but confidence in himself as well.
“So he’s had to fight two battles to get back in.
“I’m absolutely delighted for him, the way he’s started this season and the way he’s fighting back and getting fit.”
