IT seems that Manchester United's Luke Shaw is making the most of the international break in a bid to win favour with boss Jose Mourinho.
The young left-back has been criticised by Mourinho of late but hit the gym to show this isn't getting to him.
As his video shows Shaw, 21, completed a selection of resistance exercises and weighted lunges while at home.

He captioned the video, posted to his Instagram page, saying: "Ticking over on my weekend off."
United host Arsenal on Saturday at lunchtime, when Shaw will no doubt hope to be back in favour with Mourinho.
Last time out they beat Swansea 3-1 with goals coming from record signing Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ahead of that game Shaw, along with Chris Smalling, declared himself unfit...angering Mourinho, who said:
"We have players with problems but we have on the pitch players with problems.
"That's what I mean. I know in other sports - at the highest level - how many times you play and you are not 100 per cent.
"I have a friend who is a big tennis player and he remembers more the times he played with pain than the times he played without any pain.
"To compete you have to go to the limits. It's a cultural thing for some. That is not my culture."
Meantime, a win over Arsenal would see United close the gap to three points on the north Londoners.
