Luke Shaw says he is man enough to cop criticism from Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on the chin.

The 21-year-old received a public dressing down from Mourinho following his subpar performance in a 3-1 loss to Watford last month.

But left-back Shaw insists it is nothing out of the ordinary and actually welcomed the negativity as it would only serve as a valuable lesson.

"I'm a grown man now," said Shaw. "I can take what the manager said

"I'm still young and I need to take on board what he said and improve. I'm always going to listen to what the coaches are saying and have a good attitude about it.

"I was disappointed with the result at Watford but not what the manager said. I take it on board and look to improve. Hopefully I can do that in the next matches."

Shaw will return to the United starting XI in Thursday night's Europa League meeting with Fenerbahce at Old Trafford.
