Shaw played the entire 90 minutes as Manchester United suffered a 3-0 loss at Old Trafford on Monday.

Following the match, Mourinho went onto the pitch and consoled his players, including Shaw.

He also stood in front of the Stretford End for a period of time, clapping the supporters who had stayed.

Mourinho claimed he wanted to show a united front, but Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher reckoned it was an act.

I think he genuinely was proud of Luke Shaw. We kept saying in the game Luke Shaw was doing pretty well in that game Gary Neville on Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho

“Jose Mourinho’s very clever,” Carragher said.

“He’s not soft, he goes on the pitch, knows the camera’s on him.

“He’s high-fiving all the players, he wants to show a united front. He wants to see the camera on him, with the crowd there.

“You never see Mourinho sort of, when his team aren’t doing well, with his head in his hands, you never get that shot of him.

“He’s always stood there, I think even his eyes coming out onto the pitch, he looks really ready for the game.

“But it’s almost like an act really, he wanted to show a front. Whatever the media narrative is, he’s complaining about it, there’s lies getting spoken.

“But he knows the camera’s on him there, ‘I’m high-fiving the players, I’m with the supporters, there’s a united front’. You can’t deny that."

Neville agreed with some aspects of what his colleague Carragher said, but also believes Mourinho was genuinely proud of Shaw for his showing.
“I get what you’re saying, but also if he trudges off really miserable, we’d read into it,” Neville said in response.
