I'm feeling the pressure! Luke Shaw opens up about Manchester United struggles
LUKE SHAW has revealed he is under pressure to justify his huge transfer fee at Manchester United.
Shaw became the most expensive teenager in Premier League history this summer when he joined United for £31million.
Shaw only made his debut last weekend against West Ham, after overcoming a hamstring injury.
Though United are currently in the grip of a defensive crisis, Shaw has explained that he is under pressure to deliver but is desperate to become a regular starter.
"There's a lot of pressure on me because I arrived here for a big fee and there's attention that comes with that," Shaw told The Daily Mirror.
Of course, he was right to say that. We had a discussion in and the plan was to get my fitness up
"Of course, he was right to say that. We had a discussion in pre-season and the plan was to get my fitness up.
"It worked, I think, apart from the injury. He's been a great inspiration to me.
"The manager and I talk at the training ground and we have discussions. I feel in good shape."
