Manchester United defender Lukeshaw expressed disaster in the team's 0-3 defeat to Manchester City, and ESPN posted that the player is old.

Lukeshaw has witnessed more club changes than others since joining Manchester United in the summer of 2014. However, he has been able to gain a foothold in Manchester United not because of his strength or contribution, but because the team always has bigger problems to solve, allowing the glass's left-back to stay in the team.

At present, since he is unable to be competent as the left wingback, Lukeshaw is arranged to serve as the left central defender in the three central defender system. However, he lacks both speed and sufficient deterrence to compete for this new role. In the game against Manchester City, he was easily broken by Doku and was easily escaped by Haaland in the second conceding goal.

If United had managed properly in the past few years, Luke Shaw would have been cleaned up long ago, but he is still on the team. Although he was not the only one who performed poorly in the game defeated Manchester City, Lukesha's ability to continue to occupy the main force in Manchester United reflects the problems the club has not solved so far.
