Shaw, however, has been in fine form in the EPL this season and has been a reliable performer for the Red Devils. The England international praised his teammates and acknowledged the impact Solskjaer has had since replacing Mourinho in December 2018.

Shaw’s EPL tenure with Manchester United has been marred by injuries and inconsistent. However, the former Southampton left-back has earned Solskjaer’s trust this season and has improved progressively in the Norwegian’s tenure at the club.

Solskjaer’s impact of the pitch was also lauded by the Englishman, who has featured 49 times under the former Molde manager.

Manchester United were in blistering form before the EPL was suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Red Devils were bolstered by the signing of Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes in January, who made an immediate impact at the club.

With the EPL expected to resume next month, Solskjaer and co will look to secure a top-four finish for a spot in next season UEFA Champions League.
