Luke Shaw Confirms Man United Squad Cleansed of Stragglers After Multiple Departures

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has praised manager Ruben Amorim's tough and uncompromising approach to squad management, emphasizing that there are "no stragglers" left as the team moves forward together. Amorim has sidelined several players, including Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who have been encouraged to find new clubs, while the manager continues to prioritize players who meet his high standards and team-first mentality. Shaw highlighted Amorim's demand for 100% effort, regardless of a player's reputation, and noted the squad's improved unity and focus during the pre-season, describing it as the closest he has felt to the team in years. United have also made new signings such as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, with further reinforcements being considered to strengthen the squad. Despite a disappointing 15th-place finish last season and a Europa League final loss, the squad appears determined to embrace Amorim's vision and build a more positive, cohesive environment. Shaw acknowledged the challenges of previous years but expressed optimism that the current group is driving in the same direction with a stronger sense of family and accountability.
