Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw says team selection is made on merit under manager Erik ten Hag.

In a direct dig at ex-United bosses Ralf Rangnick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Shaw declares that even when standards dropped on the pitch or in training, under-performing stars still kept their places.

The left-back said: “The good thing with this manager, this gaffer, is that if you're not playing well then you won't play.

“In the past that's not been the case. But the good thing about this manager is that he's keeping everyone on their toes.

“He makes sure that everyone is 100 per cent every day. If you're not at it then you won't play. That's a positive thing"
