Jose Mourinho criticises Luke Shaw for Manchester United performance against Brighton after hauling him off at half-time
Left-back was subbed at the interval of the 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton at Old Trafford
LUKE SHAW’S Manchester United career looks uncertain after he was blasted by Jose Mourinho after the 2-0 FA Cup win over Brighton.
The left-back was hauled off at half-time following a resurgence from Brighton down the right-hand side.
Mourinho was seen throughout most of the first-half barking orders at Shaw, who found it difficult getting up and down the pitch to support his midfielders and forwards.
It marks a bizarre U-turn from Mourinho, who earlier this year hailed Shaw as one of the best players in his position.

The Portuguese tactician said in January: “He’s good, solid, physically much better, mentally much stronger, tactically understanding the game much better and what we need in different phases and circumstances.
“I’m really happy and [looking at the transfer market], I can say that in this moment I don’t see many left-backs better than this Luke Shaw.”
