Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has suggested there are no longer any “stragglers” in the squad as a result of Ruben Amorim’s tough approach.
United are currently taking part in a tour of the USA, where they are competing in the Premier League Summer Series, as Amorim’s side prepare for the new campaign.
United begin the new season with a clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford in what will represent the beginning of Amorim’s first full season in charge of the club.
The new season provides fresh opportunity for United to avenge what Amorim himself labelled a disaster season as United recorded a record low Premier League finish of 15th, while also suffering defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final in May.

Defeat in the final meant United finished the season empty-handed and now prepare for just their second season without any European football in 35 years.
Despite the 1-0 defeat in Bilbao, Shaw was quick to defend manager Amorim after the game, explaining that the Portuguese is the right man to lead the club forward. Asked to further explain his comments during United’s training camp in Chicago, Shaw doubled down on his stance.
