‘Lazy’ Man Utd star targeted again as he’s told he could cost them at Liverpool

Manchester United head to Liverpool this weekend and Luke Shaw has been told his work rate could cost the team as criticism continues to come his way from former players

Manchester United could be caught out by Luke Shaw’s “laziness” as former Red Devil Paul Parker takes aim at the defender ahead of Sunday’s clash with Liverpool at Anfield.

Ruben Amorim’s side go into the contest off the back of a win whilst the Reds had endured three straight losses prior to the international break. However wins on the red side of Merseyside have been tough to come by in recent years. Last term, despite the odds being stacked against them, United secured a 2-2 draw and missed a late chance to claim a shock three points.

Stifling Liverpool’s attack will be key but Parker fears for Shaw when he’s up against Mo Salah, who has a stellar record against the Manchester outfit. Parker has been critical of the ex-Southampton player and believes he could struggle to contain the Egyptian superstar with a particular dig at the player’s work rate.

He told The Devils’ Advocate podcast: “You look at the teams they have played against and they can’t handle pace and energy levels.”
