Man Utd ace Luke Shaw SLAMMED after playing goalscorer onside for second time this week as old club Southampton equalise

LUKE SHAW was slammed by Manchester United fans after playing a goalscorer onside for the second time in five days.

The left-back, 26, failed to get up level with the rest of his defenders at Old Trafford just after half-time today.

And that allowed Che Adams to get in behind and equalise for Southampton three minutes into the second half with a neat finish off the post.

On Tuesday, Shaw was also the last man at Turf Moor as Jay Rodriguez beat his trap to level for Burnley - after setting up Paul Pogba's opener.

Fans on Twitter ripped into the England full-back - as plenty called for substitute Alex Telles to return to the starting XI.

One said: "Man Utd conceding a goal down their right with Luke Shaw playing the goalscorer onside. Sounds familiar."

Another wrote: "Luke Shaw playing the last man offside for the 2nd time in a week."

A third replied: "As if we didn’t see that coming! Luke Shaw playing them inside again. Maguire slow off the mark! Joke of a team."

Another commented: "Never seen a full back with worse positional awareness than Luke Shaw."

And a final one simply added: "Luke Shaw is awful."

Shaw's error proved critical as United failed to find a winner.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed an open goal before Jadon Sancho's opener, had a goal ruled out for offside.

And Harry Maguire was at the thick of the action late on.

He escaped giving a penalty away at one end then saw his goal-bound header palmed away by Fraser Forster in injury time at the other.
