The Dutch manager dropped both Shaw and under fire defender Harry Maguire from the team. The two England defenders will have to work incredibly hard to regain a starting spot.

Shaw accepts Ten Hag decisions

Tyrell Malacia has impressed in Shaw's absence. However, the former Southampton defender has insisted on getting more minutes with the World Cup around the corner.

I think Ten Hag, the boss, he knows my qualities; he knows what I’m capable of and we’ve had chats.

It’s understandable that, and I even agree, the start of the season wasn’t good enough and he had to make changes and I fully accept that, I accepted it.

When an opportunity arises, Shaw will be ready to grab it.

The only thing I can do is train hard and wait for my opportunities, whether that’s in the cup games or the Premier League, whatever I play in I just have to be ready and play at the standard I should be at.
