Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has praised Luke Shaw for rescuing his Old Trafford career.

Ferdinand believes Shaw deserves enormous credit for reviving his career at Old Trafford this season.

Speaking on his Vibe with FIVE podcast, Ferdinand said: "I think in seasons gone by, you could throw at him in terms of his application, he looked a little bit off the pace, a little bit lazy at times.

"We have to look at where he's come from mentally by the way, this is a kid who looked like he was on the scrap heap of Manchester United.

"Mourinho discarded him, the kid was a broken man, he's come back from the depths to being one of the most important players at Man United, so you have to commend him for that."
