Shw so ashamed
LUKE SHAW has apologised to Manchester United fans for their horror show at West Ham. Question marks have been raised over boss Jose Mourinho’s future following Saturday’s 3-1 defeat. But Shaw (left) says the players have to take their share of the responsibility after the club’s worst start to a season for 29 years.
The left-back said: “If you want the truth, I think it was honestly horrendous.
“We didn’t look like a team that was going to beat West Ham. Individually and as a team we
were awful. That’s not good enough. It’s hard to take and we’re sorry to the fans for what they saw. It was not good enough from a Manchester United team with all the talent we have. It’s disappointing and a very, very bad day for us.”
West Ham took a two-goal lead into the break and although Shaw revealed that Mourinho had stern words at half-time, it was to little avail.
“From the first minute you could see we weren’t winning the second balls and our duels,” he said. “Games like this we should be dominating, creating chances, showing people why we deserve to play for Manchester United. It was very poor from us.
“We didn’t speak too much but obviously at half-time there were a few words and I think it was needed. It was, ‘Wake up!’ and words that he’s said before – we need to want the ball, we need to be playing. But that didn’t happen.” Report: See Seriously Football pullout
