Before Shaw suffered a horrific double-leg break, and was told to "change his football brain" by Mourinho, the left-back was one of the most highly rated talents in English football. He cost United £30m after excelling for Southampton under Mauricio Pochettino. However, his time at Old Trafford has been very disappointing and difficult.
He has struggled for form and fitness, almost had his career ended and has had his professionalism questioned by Louis van Gaal and his current manager. Reports have recently linked him with a move to Spurs, with Danny Rose joining United, and he has completely fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
Yet, there's always been a feeling that Shaw could still become an excellent player, and he reminded Scholes, Mourinho and United fans of his talent on Tuesday night. The England defender was very impressive his first start for seven months in United's 2-1 win over their Russian opponent, a victory that confirms that they've won Group A.

Shaw was deployed as a wing-back and put in a performance reminiscent of his days at Southampton. He was a constant threat down the left and one of the highest rated United players by Whoscored.
