Telles is nowhere near as good an attacking threat than Shaw. Not even close.

I have never been a big fan of shaw
Last season I thought he was one of the best LB in the world but he has gobe back to being mediocre imo

but I can still picture him getting his place back from telles

AWB is a player that does not belong in a club that needs to break other teams down

Shaw much better player... Once he regains fitness and form, back to bench duty for Telles. Good back up though. Worth the 13 mil we paid.

Dalot has done well but his crossing is diabolical! Still need better. Wouldn't mind seeing a bid for Traore to play there or as a RWB...

An in form Shaw over Telles for me any day, though Telles is a decent back up. Dalot isn't amazing by any stretch but he's performing easily well enough to keep AWB out of the team

Shaw, is m interesting one, because most of the time he’s been ok at best, but the 12 or Months up to last summer was in the form of his life.,always wondered if he could keep that up or revert.

Shaw for me is grossly over rated and we could do better, same goes for at least half of this squad of pretenders

Dalot is 22 and hopefully will improve. Awb needs selling and replacing though

Been ignored for a long spell during Ole's reign.

He's not miles ahead of him...What he is better at is attacking and he’s far more intense than AWB.

Watching him arriving into the box just prior to Marcus's goal was pretty inspiring.

Crossing needs more intent and his shooting must improve

I don't think he's overrated. He's given plenty of stick when he doesn't perform. He was praised last season because he was arguably the best left back in the league. That wasn't unfounded praise. His level has dipped this year and he isn't being praised. Seems fair to me

To compare Telles to Shaw is laughable.

Try watching United. Live if possible, where it will be quite obvious.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

Shaw is a different level of
Player to Telles.

On his day, I think Shaw is untouchable.
He’s shown what a quality player he can be, but he’s the kind you need to keep putting an arm around.

Telles has impressed, and I’m just made up that, them 2 having a run of games and a decent one at that.
I hope it lights a fire under AWB. But his position is under threat.
Shaw just needs to get his head straight, keep eating good, cos you know he’s that guy, once he retires, his waistline is gonna expand like no mans business!

Shaw is much better than Telles - both defensively and attacking. We’ve really missed his charging runs. AWB has never been great attacking but, worse than that, his defensive game has regressed. Dalot isn’t the answer though. He’ reminds me of Alex Buttner. Shear chaos.

Shaw looks like he plays within himself 90% of the time.

Don’t really rate Dalot, he’s okay, a good back up but I don’t think he will ever be good enough.

His delivery is poor, his defensive positioning is poor, he isn’t great in the air. I feel he’s just a better fit than AWB for a side without any width so stands out a little more.

Telles has his limitations and again, if we’re to compete we need a top LB, which could be Shaw imo.

Dalot is actually decent in the air, so is Telles and I think it's shown in recent games. They're both better in this respect than their English counterparts.

All they have done is emphasise how comedic is their claim to be defenders.

That game against Brentford was the perfect example of how poor they are.

Shaw is a better defender than the two of them combined. And granted AWB isn't brilliant, nor the long-term answer, but Dalot is a total liability.

Just gotta hope the defensive ineptitude of dalot and telles isn't too costly before the are rightly moved on.
