is said to be the highest profile omission from Gareth Southgate’s Nations League squad. Really? He hasn’t had a better season than Ben Chilwell or Danny Rose, and Joe Gomez can play full back, too. That Shaw is Manchester United’s player of the year says as much about their campaign as it does his. Shaw wasn’t omitted by Southgate in any controversial sense. He wasn’t good enough. There’s a difference.
