Man Utd fullback Shaw credits Alex Telles competition for recent form

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw says competition with Alex Telles has pushed him this season.

The English left-back was man-of-the-match for United in the goalless draw with Liverpool.

"I feel really good, obviously big credit to Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) for that," Shaw told MUTV's Stewart Gardner at Anfield. "'For believing in me and pushing me. "

"Alex [Telles] as well, we have a great relationship and he pushes me each day in training. We get on really well. It's nice to have that type of competition, but we push each other to get the best from ourselves.

"When he plays, I want the best for him, and it's the same the other way round. It's a positive way for both of us to look at it and push each other."
