Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has brushed aside rumors that say that there are problems in the team’s dressing room. Shaw has also apologised to the club’s fans after yesterday’s defeat and has said that the team will bounce back. Manchester United suffered their second-successive defeat of the Premier League against Tottenham yesterday.
There were rumors of unrest in Manchester United but Luke Shaw has rubbished such reports. The 23-year old said, “You see a lot of things in the media that go on about what our dressing room is like, but we have a really good spirit, a really good group of lads, who want to work and achieve big things here. We have a group of hard workers and amazing talents, everywhere you look on the field.
We have got to start taking our chances and I am sure we will start winning games. You look at the first half and I think we were outstanding. We had a lot of chances to put the game to bed. We spoke at half-time and Jose [Mourinho] said they hadn’t had one corner, one cross, or one dangerous opportunity. Then, from their first corner in the second half they had a goal, but even then we should have been relaxed because it was only one goal and we still had a lot of time.
But then came another mistake, another silly, stupid goal. We were so on top and it is just really disappointing. Everyone in the dressing room is really sad, especially after the first half we had.”
Shaw also thanked the Manchester United supporters despite the result. He said, “A big thank you goes to the fans for the way they supported us, even when we were down 3-0. It was amazing. At the final whistle, the way they clapped the team was really respectful, and that was nice for us as players to receive after a disappointing result.
To the fans that came out tonight, we are sorry and we will be better next week, we will improve, we will keep working hard. It is early in the season, we have got a lot of games to come and we have got to get points. Tonight’s result wasn’t good enough. I am sorry to the fans, not just the ones here but those at home that watched and supported us.”
