Luke Shaw looks set to leave Manchester United in the summer after more criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n
The left-back was substituted at half-time during Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory against Brighton.<\/p>\n
Mourinho said he had taken him off because Shaw, along with fellow full-back Antonio Valencia, had failed to follow his tactical instructions.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old, who is under contract until June 2019, is understood to have been upset by Mourinho’s comments.<\/p>\n
Those close to the England defender have been left furious at the public nature of Mourinho’s criticism.<\/p>\n
Mourinho said on Saturday that he chose to substitute Shaw rather than Valencia because “at least Antonio defensively was capable of good positioning”.<\/p>\n
“Luke, in the first half, every time they came in his corridor, the cross came in and a dangerous situation was coming,” the Portuguese said.<\/p>\n
“I was not happy with his performance.”<\/p>\n
Mourinho has criticised Shaw repeatedly in the past, and publicly questioned the defender’s approach to training and his commitment to the club last April.<\/p>\n
Shaw joined United from Southampton for \u00a327m in 2014 but was out of the game for almost a year after breaking his leg 15 months later.<\/p>\n
United have triggered the option of an additional year on his contract but it is accepted that unless Mourinho markedly changes his view of Shaw, it is likely the full-back will be sold.<\/p>\n
He has made 15 appearances for United this season, and has seven England caps.<\/p>\n
