Luke Shaw reacts to claims he's happy to see Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford on bench at Man Utd

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>A United fan account on social media spotted that Shaw had liked a post sharing a quote from Patrice Evra saying that it will be "tough" for Rashford and Martial to get back into the first-team under Erik ten Hag. Shaw's like sparked suggestions that the defender is pleased about his team-mate's predicament.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Shaw replied to the claim that he is taking pleasure from the attacking pair's struggle, saying that he accidentally favourited the post. He wrote on X: "Come on don’t be silly, obviously not intentional."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Come on don’t be silly ,obviously not intentional 🤦🏼‍♂️</p>— Luke Shaw (@LukeShaw23) <a href="https://twitter.com/LukeShaw23/status/1732717235024662770?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT SHAW SAID

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-erik-ten-hag-premier-league-chelsea/blt8b6d30e6f3722078" target="_blank">Rashford was dropped to the bench</a> for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-better-team-without-marcus-rashford-erik-ten-hag-winners-losers-chelsea/blt7a017773c201acbf" target="_blank">United's 2-1 win against Chelsea on Wednesday</a>, coming on as a substitute to play just the final six minutes of the Premier League match. Martial, meanwhile, has started only four of the 12 games he has played in the English top-flight this season and was an unused substitute against Chelsea. The pair's absence led to a spike in form for Ten Hag's side, who put in one of their most complete performances in recent weeks.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rashford and Martial will hope to be given a chance to return to the United starting XI on Saturday when the Red Devils face Bournemouth in the Premier League. That game will be followed by a crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, where they must win to have any chance of progressing to the knockouts.</p>
