Luke Shaw reveals why he backs Erik ten Hag's management in wake of Rashford being dropped for discipline issue | The Sun

LUKE SHAW has backed Erik ten Hag's decision to clamp down on discipline at the club after he dropped Marcus Rashford against Wolves.

The Dutchman has made some big decisions involving key players since he arrived at Old Trafford.



He wasn't afraid to leave Cristiano Ronaldo out of the team and then axed him from the squad for the trip to Chelsea after he refused to come on against Tottenham.

And Ten Hag once again showed who's boss after leaving Rashford out of the team against Wolves despite his excellent goalscoring form of late.

The England star eventually came off the bench and scored the winner at Molineux before explaining that he was dropped for being late.

Shaw described his England and United team-mate as "world class" but said that Ten Hag dealt with the situation in the right way.

He said: "When you've got a player like Marcus Rashford to come on, you know there's a goal there.

"He's in a really good place at the moment: confident, positive, happy.

"It's nice to see it. He's world-class, and if he keeps going he can be one of the best in the world."

On Ten Hag's discipline, he added: "At a top club it has to be like that. People can't do whatever they want.
