Manchester United Defender Luke Shaw Acknowledges Roy Keane Criticism After Derby Defeat

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has publicly accepted and acknowledged the accuracy of Roy Keane's harsh criticism following Shaw's subpar performance in the 3-0 Manchester derby defeat to Manchester City. Keane, a former United captain, accused Shaw of underperforming and suggested he had "been getting away with murder for years" due to fitness issues and lackluster defending. Shaw admitted the criticism hurt but emphasized that he was aware his performance was below his standard and did not need Keane to point it out. Despite the setback, Shaw has expressed determination to maintain consistent high-level performances, highlighting his regular inclusion in the team as evidence of managerial faith in his abilities. He also noted his commitment to improving and moving past the criticism, underscoring that he is focused on demonstrating his quality moving forward. Shaw's improved display in the subsequent 2-1 victory over Chelsea, where he contributed significantly, illustrates his resolve to bounce back.
