Manchester United legend Paul Scholes insists Luke Shaw can be the best left-back in the world.

Scholes thinks returning to work with former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham could put Shaw on course to become a world beater again.

"I still believe he could be the best in the world and in the summer he could go to Tottenham or somewhere and he could improve," Scholes told BT Sport.

"I couldn't see a difference between him and Young.

"I think sometimes, managers get in their head that there's a player not for them.

"For me I think he could be brilliant but his manager will still find something wrong with him.

"It is disappointing because when Luke Shaw came you thought what a player that is and he could be the best.

"It's a relationship that come the summer will end. It keeps going on and on but he isn't playing games.

"He's just not played many games, just his body shape, he looks like needs to play games.

"Unfortunately he hasn't impressed the manager enough."
