Shaw took to Instagram to share his feelings about the season and respond to critics questioning his commitment to Manchester United.
Shawโs Injury Struggles and Response to Manchester United Critics
In his Instagram post, Shaw expressed his happiness for his teammatesโ FA Cup win but also shared his frustration at being unable to play. โHappy for the boys to lift the trophy at the weekend and finish this season on a positive. As much as it was the result I wanted, it was hard to watch from the stands,โ Shaw wrote.
Shaw revealed that this season has been particularly challenging for him, with multiple setbacks preventing him from returning to full fitness. He explained, โThis has definitely been the most frustrating season for me. I have had setback after setback and have worked so hard to get back to fitness, but things just havenโt gone my way. I pushed so hard to get back before the end of the season and the final, but some things just arenโt meant to be.โ
Despite his efforts, Shawโs loyalty to Manchester United has been questioned by some fans on social media. Responding to these doubts, Shaw stated, โThereโs nothing I want to do more than play and win with Manchester United. I donโt normally react to things I see on social media, but thereโs a lot of people questioning my loyalty to this club and asking how I am fit for England but not United.โ
Shaw clarified that he is not fully fit for either Manchester United or England at the moment. He emphasized his dedication to recovery, saying, โThe reality is I am not 100 percent fit for either right now, but I am doing everything I can and constantly working to be. I have been at this club for 10 years through highs and lows, and for anyone to question my loyalty is obviously frustrating.โ
Shaw acknowledged that he hasnโt provided frequent updates on his injury status but reassured fans that his main focus is supporting the team. โI appreciate I havenโt updated you all with my injuries and where Iโm at with my recovery, but equally, the most important thing to me is that weโre supporting the team playing. My biggest focus right now is being fit, and then whatever happens this summer, I will be ready,โ he said, thanking fans for their patience.
Shawโs emotional connection to Manchester United is evident, and he has shown his commitment through his actions and words. He has been a part of the club for a decade, experiencing both highs and lows and remains determined to contribute to the teamโs success.

This message of encouragement highlights the unity and support within the team. The camaraderie among the players is a testament to the strong bonds they have formed, which is crucial for their collective success.
