EPL: Shaw questions ‘commitment’ of Man Utd players

Luke Shaw questioned the “commitment” of his Manchester United teammates after they were beaten on Monday night by Wolves.

Man Utd’s loss against Wolves was their first under their new interim boss Ralf Rangnick. Cristiano Ronaldo captained the hosts in Harry Maguire’s absence.

The Red Devils were poor as they were deservedly beaten by Bruno Lage’s side.

The visitors had 19 shots and their winning goal came with around ten minutes to go. Joao Moutinho picked the ball up on the edge of the area and he found the bottom corner with his effort.

This win moves Wolves to within just three points of Man Utd, who are seventh in the Premier League.

Shaw said post-match that United “weren’t aggressive enough” against Wolves:

“We really struggled, we couldn’t get hold of the ball,” Shaw told Sky Sports.

“When we didnt have the ball we weren’t aggressive enough. We didnt put them under any pressure. It maybe looked like an easy game for them. A disappointing performance and result. We didn’t have many options on the ball and we weren’t on the front foot.

“We have to put more pressure on them, we have to have intensity. Us players, we have been here a long time, maybe tonight we struggled, I didn’t think we were all there together.

“You look at the players we have, we have unbelievable quality but sometimes quality is not enough.

“We need to bring the intensity and more motivation. Inside the dressing room, we know what we want but out on the pitch we need to give 100%. To win these types of games we all need to be 100% committed. It is tough and disappointing.”
