Man Utd fullback Shaw details 4-4 intra-club friendly

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw has detailed yesterday's 11v11 intra-club friendly.

Two teams comprise of United players faced off at an empty Old Trafford on Saturday, with the 90-minute match finishing 4-4.

Shaw told the club's website: "There have been a lot of different things circulating on social media and I'm happy to set the record straight. It did end 4-4 and I did score twice! Also on my team, Bruno got one and Jamo [Daniel James] got one, while, on the other team, Rashy [Marcus Rashford] got two and so did Odion [Ighalo].

“To be fair, my first goal was decent. It was from a great cross by Bruno and my volley went straight in. I was happy with it. My other one was just getting forward, Juan [Mata] played it to me on the edge of the box, I took a touch and shot in. It was quite an open game, as you can probably gather, with a lot of space, since it was the first game back.

“Everyone looked good and the most important thing was getting minutes in the tank. This was definitely a step forward from the games we've been having at the training ground."
