New Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim acknowledges that Luke Shaw “wants to play more” following his performance against Everton on Sunday.

The Red Devils entered their 4-0 victory over the Toffees after drawing their initial Premier League game under Amorim last Sunday with newly-promoted Ipswich Town, before rallying from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in a midweek Europa League clash.

And Marcus Rashford – who netted their sole goal versus the Tractor Boys – struck twice against Sean Dyche’s Everton team, while often-criticized Joshua Zirkzee also earned a pair of goals on a flawless afternoon at Old Trafford.

That outcome elevates Man Utd to ninth in the Premier League standings, surpassing Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Fulham as Amorim has fans feeling optimistic.

Shaw has participated in all of Amorim’s three matches as manager of Man Utd this season, with the England international playing just over 30 minutes in each of the Portuguese coach’s initial three games across all competitions.

Injury-plagued Shaw is still looking for his initial start since February in a Man Utd jersey, although he featured for England as they fell 2-1 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Germany.

With several players returning from injury, Amorim acknowledges that he is dealing with a selection dilemma as Shaw desires to begin more games.

Amorim informed the media: “Numerous players are coming back from injuries, Kobbie Mainoo posed a slight risk as he was set to play only 60 minutes… Luke Shaw wishes to play more, but we need to manage it and rotate the squad. “In the future, we will implement a different system, allowing you to see more of a starting XI.”

This season, Shaw has participated in all of Amorim’s three matches leading Man Utd, with the England international playing slightly more than 30 minutes in each of the Portuguese manager’s initial three games across all competitions.

The new Manchester United manager acknowledges that the Red Devils were “pragmatic” rather than thrilling against Everton, but Amorim expressed satisfaction with his team’s display at Old Trafford.

Amorim stated: “The outcome was positive, but we remained practical.” It wasn’t attractive, I believe, but we were practical. We accomplished our task of winning, but it’s evident that we still have much to achieve. In the initial moments, you can sense that we are fine, but then Everton takes some control of the match.

“At crucial moments, we found the goals that slightly altered the game.” Therefore, you need to concentrate not only on the outcome but also on how the outcome came about. There is a lot on our plates, but it’s more beneficial to focus on the successes. Let’s emphasize performance over outcomes.

“It was an extremely challenging match, and during the crucial moments, we managed to score, which altered the game.” At times, we must endure hardships, and I sensed that everyone is experiencing pain collectively, which is truly significant.

“Additionally, the fans because you can sense it and I understand they desire more at this time.” They desire an improved game, but they realize we require time. We must applaud the players; they transformed the match.

“We require new players, and they are skilled individuals who can address certain issues that the team currently cannot resolve.” The players are providing significant assistance, so congratulations to them. There is much work ahead, so this outcome makes no difference. “It has simply provided us with greater strength and more happiness to develop our game concept.”
