Man United players must show Ruben Amorim that they can use this result as a building block
Football Insider opinion
Amorim has endured a challenging start to life at Old Trafford, with the club currently sitting 13th in the league after securing just two wins in nine matches.
However, the draw against Liverpool marks the end of a dismal four-match losing streak, and the performance deserved at least a point.
Shaw made his long-awaited return from injury in November, featuring in three games before being sidelined again.
His latest injury came at an unfortunate time, as the left-back position remains an area where the Englishman could have provided much-needed support, particularly with Diogo Dalot struggling to adapt.
Speculation about Shaw’s future has intensified, with a potential move away from the club being touted.
The 29-year-old, who joined United from Southampton in 2014, might see his time at Old Trafford coming to an end as injuries continue to plague his career.
The manager has shown he isn’t afraid to make bold decisions, as seen in the Manchester derby when he dropped Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. A similarly bold move could involve parting ways with Shaw in favour of a fresh start.
For Amorim, this result could serve as a stepping stone. While the team failed to build momentum after their dramatic derby win, the performance against Liverpool demonstrates that the players are capable of stepping up when it matters.
