Luke Shaw praised his teammate Raphael Varane for helping him cope with his change in position as central defender in today’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Manchester United took all three points in a close duel at the Molineux.
Substitute Marcus Rashford came off the bench to score the winner, much to the delight of Erik ten Hag.
United were solid in defence, and both center backs Shaw and Varane played very well.
In his post-match interview, Shaw said:
“It helps when you have someone like Varane by your side. He spoke to me a lot, not only in the game but also before.”
