Before the contract agreement was established between Manchester United and Luke Shaw, a thorough statistical analysis had been presented about the English defender's performance with Luke Shaw highlighted as having become one of the most influential players who continue to play a crucial part in the Manchester United teams’ ability to successfully implement the Erik ten Hag system which indulges high in the jacket fooled blacks overlapping the Manchester United wingers to create a one-on-one opportunity for each Manchester United winger on the pitch as frequently as needed.
There have also been various projections made by analysts particularly concerning Manchester United's performance which has presented Luke Shaw as the most important player who has almost single-handedly spearheaded Manchester United’s progress on the pitch within the Erik ten Hag rebuild.
Throughout the 2022/23 season despite the ups and downs Manchester United has accumulated in the season. If performance levels generated by Luke Shaw have presented the English fullback to be a player who showed his performance by operating on an elite level with the performance of Luke Shaw presented as a key cog responsible for the sometimes elite level Manchester United was able to operate with as well during the 2022/23 season.
Of course, there is yet to be any concrete, objective data to suggest that Manchester United is massively reliant on an Elite level performance believer by Luke Shaw specifically to succeed particularly as the Manchester United men's team is very well documented to be a team which operates more as a unit rather than a one-man team. However, there is statistical evidence to suggest that the performance of Luke Shaw this season has been very important to the successful progression of Erik ten Hags' Manchester United team have been able to generate under the Erik ten Hag rebuild era.
The history of Luke Shaw as a Manchester United player has seen Manchester United generate and understood a statistical defensive rate of conceding less than one goal a game during the 2019-20 campaign. A combination of defense-to-attack sequences which sees Luke Shaw implement high-level defensive attributes within the Manchester United back line merged elegantly with game-changing attacking influence has seen Luke Shaw having successfully established himself as a vital part of Manchester United's ongoing progress towards attaining further success in the future during Erik ten Hag’s ongoing, managerial, rebuild era at Manchester United.
Statistics such as 116 ball touches, 91 passes completed out of around 40 passes attempted which has presented a pass completion rate of 83.3%. This performance rate coupled with Luke Shaw's ability to increase his versatility levels by performing at a standout level as a center back is confirmed to have ranked the English fullback at the position between 1st and 4th in terms of statistical compilations of all relevant defensive accolades generated by Luke Shaw not only during Erik ten Hags' managerial era but for a majority of Luke Shaws' Manchester United career certainly made the case for Manchester United to present the English midfielder with the new contract a lot easier,
From showing signs of struggle in previous managerial eras to now displaying a consistent level of quality which was always expected from the English fullback the consistent level of quality displayed by Luke Shaw has understandably kicked in under the Erik ten Hag managerial era,. Not surprising considering the Dutch managers' elite football understanding and considering the elite, methodical, strategies which Erik ten Hag has successfully implemented at Manchester United. English fullback Luke Shaw has largely credited his- Luke Shaw's’- resurgence back to performing at his top best to the presence of the new additional oh quality defensive players who are all currently registered within the Manchester United rosters with the players identified to be the recent acquisition secured by Manchester United over the last two summers in Casimiro, Christian Eriksen and of course, the defensive reinforcements which have arrived at Manchester United in the ongoing Erik ten Hag managerial era in the form of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have been highlighted at Manchester United as significant acquisitions which has implemented significant defensive boost to Manchester United back line.
The collective, defensive performance displayed by Erik ten Hags' defender in the Dutch manager's first season as Manchester United manager has significantly helped boost the performance rate of Erik ten Hags’ Manchester United team to operate at an 80% overall team performance rate with the presence of Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandez performance rate during the 2022/23 season presented as key catalysts which determined which direction Manchester United men teams' performance rate operates with.
Subsequently, Erik Ten Hag Manchester United team in general is understood to operate at a performance rate of 55% or lower when one out of these 8 players specifically Luke Shaw is either off the team or operating at a 50% or lower rate. These statistics subsequently highlighted the reason why Erik ten Hag and the Manchester United executives remained resilient Luke Shaw and a handful of other key players must remain a significant building block in the long-term rebuild process taking place under Erik ten Hag
