Chelsea ready to rescue Luke Shaw from Manchester United

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Manchester United defender Luke Shaw after the player came in for yet more criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.

The Daily Mail reports that the Blues will monitor the player’s situation closely as he looks set to leave Old Trafford in the summer.

Shaw had fallen out of favour under Mourinho before trying to work his way back into the manager’s plans.

The defender started in the club’s 2-0 home victory against Brighton in the FA Cup over the weekend, only to be hauled off at half time.

Mourinho was heavily critical of the player’s performance, questioning his positioning and defensive capabilities.

Luke, in the first half, every time they came in his corridor, the cross came in and a dangerous situation was coming. I was not happy with his performance.

Shaw joined United back in 2014 for £30 million, a move that Mourinho, who was in charge of Chelsea at the time, publicly criticised.

Chelsea have been credited with an interest in the past and the player could be on the move as United look to recoup some of the outlay spent on the defender.
