Shaw Issues Warning To Liverpool And Man City

By Joshua Walters

Luke Shaw has cautioned Liverpool and Manchester City, saying they will see a new Manchester United in the upcoming season.

Manchester United suffered a torrid season last term, finishing sixth on the league log, 32 points adrift champions Manchester City and 31 behind rivals Liverpool, but Shaw believes the table will turn this time around.

“For sure this season it will be a new United. They [City and Liverpool] won't have it as easy as last season. People are probably already doubting us but they can carry on doing that,” United left-back Shaw said.

"We know what we are capable of doing and we will have a much better season. It will be a new United, especially with the new ideas the manager is bringing in."

“It was really tough for all of us to take and you couldn't really enjoy your holidays." "You see the Champions League final and the Europa League final and they're all English teams. It makes you feel even worse, and especially the way the finals went. None of us want that to happen again.

"I think that's why we've all come back again with a different mindset. We had that break to clear our minds but now we're all focused on getting United back to where they belong and not let the likes of the teams we've seen in the finals have it that easy."

“We've worked a lot on tactics, pressing wise – when to go, what sort of moments to," he said. "The other side of that is to keep the ball more. The manager wants us to play out from the back.

"The way the game went [against Inter], I feel we looked a lot better than we probably have for a while.

“A lot of times last season we didn't keep the ball well enough and now, playing on the front foot with the pressing, we know as a team what the manager wants. I have no doubt that when the first game of the season comes we will be flying."
