Mourinho praises Man Utd fans: They did right thing by Shaw

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is ready to hand Luke Shaw a new chance.

Shaw was handed his first Premier League start of the season as United edged past Bournemouth with a 1-0 victory tonight.

And when he was replaced by Ashley Young on the 83rd minute he went off to a standing ovation.

Mourinho has now hinted that he may try to keep the England international after his impressive display.

“I'm not saying first or second choice, he's an option," Mourinho told match of the Day.

"His history is an incredible injury and more surgery at the end of last season.

“He needs competitive matches, we gave him that and he had some cramps so we had to change him.

“The standing ovation for him I liked, it helps the player."
