Luke Shaw, a 31-year-old defender for Manchester United and an England international, has faced criticism early in the new Premier League season. Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra suggested Shaw's "time has gone" at the club, while former United player and current advisor Gary Pallister has urged fans to be patient with the defender. Despite not adding a new left-back in the summer transfer window, Shaw remains the first-choice option in that position for manager Michael Carrick. Shaw has started all three Premier League games this season but has drawn criticism for parts of his performances. Wayne Rooney, a former Manchester United legend, called for Shaw to be dropped after the team's 2-0 defeat to Hull City in the opening weekend, criticizing his defending as "schoolboy defending." Former United midfielder Paul Scholes has also suggested the club should sign Lewis Hall from Newcastle to replace Shaw. Gary Pallister, who won four Premier League titles with Manchester United, believes Shaw has earned the right to be given time, citing his 300 appearances for the club and a strong season last year. He acknowledged that the team's defense has struggled in the first three league games, conceding six goals. Pallister suggested that Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez could be rotated in upcoming matches, with players like Leny Yoro or Ayden Heaven potentially returning to the squad. Shaw did not train on Wednesday, but manager Carrick explained that it was simply an extra recovery day and not an ongoing issue. Carrick emphasized that each player has different needs and that the absence was not a cause for concern. The team is set to return to action in the Champions League on Thursday, facing Azerbaijani side Sabah.
