Man Utd defender Shaw singles out Ibrahimovic and Pogba for helping development

Luke Shaw singled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba as players who have helped his development at Manchester United.

Both players were instrumental in United winning the League Cup and Europa League during the 2016/17 season.

"I think back to when Ibra was at the club, he would push everyone mentally and physically in training," Shaw said.

"He made you stronger and I took a lot from him when he was at the club. The way he was, he could be very challenging, but he pushes everyone because he wants to win and he makes you mentally strong as well.

"Another one I'd say is Pogba. He's always been good with me. He's always telling me to believe in myself, telling me that he believes in me, so he's one that I'd say always pushes me in training.

"He's always said positive things to me that have driven me on, so I'd have to say Paul is a big influence."
