A strong start to this season was rewarded with a new long-term contract for which Shaw is thankful to Mourinho.
“I kind of enjoyed it,” he said, ahead of United's Champions League clash with Young Boys on Tuesday night. “It was a very big challenge for me with some of the things he’s said in the past, especially in the last year or two years."Last week, Mourinho complained about the “mentality” and “lack of aggression” in the modern player, name-checking Shaw and some of his teammates, but the the 23-year-old was not fazed by his comments.
“What he said the other day, that was more a generational thing. I don’t think it was really aimed as much at us as individuals,” Shaw said. “He’s talking about nowadays’ generation, as opposed to when he was a bit younger. “You need a thick skin, of course, playing for the manager but 100% this club, it’s the biggest club in the world and we as players need to take what’s said on board.”United take on Young Boys in their fifth group stage game of this season's Champions League campaign. Mourinho's side look likely to qualify for the knock-out stages, barring a disaster, with seven points after four matches. Juventus currently top the group with nine while Valencia trail in third place with five points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzdt8Co9lho Via Beanyman Sports.
