Jose Mourinho's shocking Manchester United verdict being proven right by Ralf Rangnick failure

'Control' has become something of a buzzword since Ralf Rangnick was appointed Manchester United manager, yet his team's displays have shown anything but.

United continue to relinquish control of games despite dominating the early stages and individual errors in defence are threatening to derail their push for a place in the top four.

Harry Maguire has come in for a lot of criticism over the past few weeks, but it's his international colleague Luke Shaw who's now been handed the unenviable tag of United boo-boy.

Shaw's attacking play has been a key weapon in United's arsenal over recent seasons, making a mockery of Jose Mourinho's treatment of him during his time as United manager.

However, his showing on Saturday in the 1-1 draw with Southampton was not up to scratch. As per Sofascore, he gave away possession on 12 occasions, only won two out of five ground duels and delivered just three crosses into the box.

Shaw has been through some tough times since moving to Old Trafford in 2014. The double-leg break he suffered in 2015 was the worse of them all, but Mourinho's criticism of him definitely provided another low point in his career.

The 26-year-old has shown the character to bounce back from multiple setbacks and last season he was arguably United's most improved player, capping off a fine campaign with a solid showing at Euro 2020 in which he scored England's only goal in the final against Italy.

It was expected that Shaw would kick on and establish himself as one of the best left-backs in European football, but things haven't quite gone according to plan.

He's looked shaky defensively and both of the equalisers United have conceded in the past week - against Burnley and Southampton - could have been avoided if Shaw
