Manchester United backroom staff are reportedly in favour of Luke Shaw over his row with his manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho, sometime this term has had to lament over the fitness level of the England international, and he (the 54-year-old) is set to bring in a replacement for the defender this summer.

Meanwhile, the former Chelsea boss while reacting to his criticism of the player since he succeeded Louis Van Gaal said: “It is my decision.

“My reason behind it is that we work on the pitch certain kinds of movements where it was really important for the two full backs to be aggressive and to be always in front, to create space for Matic and for Scott to play in front of the two central defenders.

“I didn’t have that with Luke and Antonio Valencia, with both of them. I didn’t change both because it was too aggressive to do it and then I only have one more change in 90 minutes.

“To try to improve our offensive football and be more aggressive I had to change one of them and I decided Luke, because at least Antonio defensively was capable of good positionings.

“Luke, in the first half, every time they went in this corridor, the cross was coming; the situation was coming so I was not happy with the performance.”

Yet The Sun say United staff are firmly in Shaw’s corner.

Mourinho is reportedly alienating himself from key members of the squad and coaching staff.

A source is quoted as saying: “The staff are not in Jose’s corner and he has few advocates.

“They absolutely hate the treatment of Shaw, who is a nice and popular lad around the place.”

The former England youth international joined Manchester United from Southampton in 2014, but suffered a career threatening injury in September 2015 – an injury that ruled him out of action for at least six months.

And since his return, he hasn’t performed to the best of his manager, reasons he has not been getting enough playing time at the club.
