Rio Ferdinand has credited Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for providing Luke Shaw with a “a new lease of life” at Manchester United.
Shaw has made 132 appearances for Man Utd since his high-profile £30m move from Southampton back in 2014, which made him the most expensive teenager in world football at the time.
The left-back has come under criticism over fitness and performances during his six years at Old Trafford but Man Utd boss Solskjaer now seems to be getting the best out of him.

Ferdinand told BT Sport: “It has definitely has [come at the wrong time]. Many players across the league will be sitting there and thinking why now?
“He will be thinking Iâve been injured loads for the last few years, Iâve had no form. But suddenly Luke Shaw hit a bit of form, heâs getting consistent games and getting good reviews for his performances.
“Heâs been playing well not at left-back but on the left side of a three as a centre-half and been given a new lease of life.
“Come out with the ball heâs always been good at driving forward and he looks accomplished. Heâs taken to it like itâs a new home for him.
“If thatâs the way Ole will play heâs made it his own. Heâs been one of the most consistent players of late in a run of 11 games unbeaten. Heâs been one of the top performers.
“Brandon Williams has been a breath of fresh air in the wing-back area and that left side is starting to bear fruit.
“Ole is getting consistency from him but this is a bad time for him but if he keeps himself fit and trim heâll be ready to rock and roll.”
