Luke Shaw Accepts Roy Keane’s Criticism After Derby Defeat as Manchester United Beat Chelsea

Shaw frames the remarks as motivation for consistency under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Roy Keane accused Shaw of giving up in the 3-0 loss to Manchester City and said the defender has been getting away with murder for years.
  • Shaw said the comments hurt but were fair, insisting he takes them on the chin and admitting he was below his level in the derby.
  • Manchester United responded with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford in a match that saw both teams reduced to ten men.
  • Shaw delivered a stronger display against Chelsea, helping initiate the move for Casemiro’s goal while starting again as the left-sided centre-back in Amorim’s back three.
  • The 30-year-old has started all five league games this season after two injury-hit campaigns that yielded just 27 starts across 2023-24 and 2024-25.
