Why Erik ten Hag needs to start Luke Shaw over Tyrell Malacia for Manchester United vs Everton

Erik ten Hag could be set to hand Luke Shaw his first Premier League start for Manchester United since the 4-0 defeat to Brentford when they take on Everton on Sunday evening.

Tyrell Malacia has had a fine start to life at United since his arrival from Feyenoord this summer. Ten Hag has turned to the 23-year-old in every single league game so far this season, with the Dutch defender starting the last five domestic outings.

However, Malacia has had the unfortunate experience of being substituted at half-time in United's last two matches. The bruising 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City saw Ten Hag turn to Shaw at half-time as the Reds found themselves 4-0 down at the break.

However, Ten Hag opted to make the same substitution at half-time. Shaw performed admirably in both second-half cameos, and although he failed to set the world alight, he by and large did what was asked of him.
