Man United's Luke Shaw 'hopes' to play for Mauricio Pochettino again
After Man United's loss at Huddersfield, Alejandro Moreno blasts Jose Mourinho's constant changes to his system. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel believes Cristiano Ronaldo's will to succeed is the reason behind his exceptional talent.
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw says he "hopes" to play for Mauricio Pochettino again.
The left-back spent 18 months under the Argentine at Southampton before switching to Old Trafford in 2014 in a £30 million deal.
Shaw has been on the sidelines under Jose Mourinho for nearly a year. His appearance as a late substitute against Swansea on Tuesday was just his second of the season.
And the 22-year-old's admission about his former boss will only fuel talk about a move to Tottenham.
"I think with Southampton he achieved the impossible," Shaw wrote in the book, "Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs."
"We were one of the best footballing teams in the league. I do hope that I can play for him again one day. And I think he really wants me to play under him again."
Luke Shaw has struggled for regular playing time since joining Manchester United.
Shaw signed a four-year deal when he swapped St Mary's for Old Trafford, but United are set to trigger a one-year extension that will keep him at the club until 2019.
Meanwhile, sources have told ESPN FC that Mourinho remains interested in Tottenham left-back Danny Rose, who went on record in the summer to say he would welcome a move north after starting his career at Leeds.
Mourinho was critical of Shaw last season, suggesting the England international needed a "better understanding of the game."
Shaw, however, paints a different picture of his relationship with Pochettino.
He added: "He used to call me his son, that's how good our relationship was. I've had lots of ups and downs, but when I was with Pochettino it was only ever up, up, up.
"He made me feel that I was the best. He'd show me clips of my games and say, 'You should do this better'. Not in a horrible way. Not I could have done better, but I should have done better, because he knows I can be better."
