Manchester United star Luke Shaw has seen a return to form and must now be in contention for a recall to the England squad.
The Red Devils have looked defensively solid in recent weeks.
United have now kept three clean sheets in a row in the Premier League with Shaw overshadowing his team-mates at the back.

The ex-Southampton star has perhaps been complacent at times, knowing his position in the starting XI was safe.

With big injuries to Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane, whoever leads the line for the Three Lions will be the ex-Middlesbrough manager’s top priority.
But Shaw, whose last cap came against Spain in 2018, is making a case for a place in the squad at the very least.

“United are my priority, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking about the Euros as well" he said this month.
“Everyone wants to be in the England squad for a big tournament, but what I’ve got to do is play well for my club.
“Winning trophies and climbing the table is what I want to do – and it would be great if that opened the door with England.”
