'Shaw can be one of the Premier League's best left-backs' - Solskjaer vouches for Man Utd star after Young sale

The Red Devils boss has backed the England international to step up and fulfil his potential following a former club captain's departure

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is "potentially one of the best left-backs in England", according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Shaw has been a regular in the United line up under Solskjaer, but he now finds his place under threat after the emergence of 19-year-old Brandon Williams.

Williams has featured in 16 matches across all competitions for the Red Devils this season, three more than Shaw, who has missed a large portion of the campaign through injury.
