Agent Jonathan Barnett is happy to take credit for Luke Shaw's revival at Manchester United this season.

Shaw's agent Jonathan Barnett has told the Athletic about the role his agency played in the United player's improvement this season.

He said, "My job in that situation is to make sure the player's spirits are kept up.

"We try behind the scenes to help them understand what's gone wrong. A lot of it is personal. We had to rebuild his confidence, which we did. We took certain steps. But Luke is a very strong man. He never got too down.

“His family had to be there for him and we had to be there for him. We didn't say, 'You've got to leave Man United, we've got to go because we need to make money'. We didn't force Luke Shaw out of Man United. He wanted to stay there.

"And that's what he's done. And today, he's a great, great player."
