JOSE MOURINHO is set to unveil a huge shock by naming Luke Shaw in his Manchester United team for the first time this season.
The left back has been sidelined this season after two years of injury hell.
But in their big Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow tonight, the Englishman is set to to start, with Mourinho confirming that he deserved his chance.
According to the Manchester Evening News, “leaked” team news has confirmed the 22-year-old will start in a five-man defence, with Matteo Darmian on the right side.
The Manchester publication claim United’s team will be: Sergio Romero, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Daley Blind, Shaw, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata.
United are top of the Champions League group A going into their clash with CSKA – and a point will see them through.
Shaw has had a nightmare season, only playing 45 minutes against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup and four minutes in the same competition against Swansea City.
Mourinho said yesterday: “When you speak about Luke you are right, he is working to have an opportunity and sooner or later the opportunity will arrive, because he deserves the opportunity.
“He is selected for tomorrow, yes for sure. Whether he starts or is on the bench, I cannot answer.”
