SHAW IMPRESSED WITH SOLSKJAER'S PERFORMANCE

United great Solskjaer was swiftly parachuted in as caretaker manager and could scarcely have asked for a better start, with the 5-1 shellacking of former club Cardiff followed by a 3-1 Boxing Day triumph against Huddersfield.

They were Shaw's first matches since the start of December after sustaining a knock and then, Press Association Sport understands, being marginalised by Mourinho, whose testing relationship with the left-back flared up again.

The 23-year-old has remained respectful about the Portuguese since his departure, but it is clear how much he and his team-mates are enjoying Solskjaer's fresh approach.

"I think you can see from the outside how much he has changed things in such a short space of time," Shaw said.
