‘Brilliant gesture… a class act’: Luke Shaw praised for gifting his shirt to young Manchester United fan following West Ham defeat
- Manchester United lost 3-1 to West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday
- Luke Shaw held his hands up to apologise in front of the United supporters
- The defender then gave his shirt to a young girl he spotted holding a sign
One Manchester United fan had at least something to smile about following Saturday’s defeat to West Ham as full-back Luke Shaw went out of his way to give her his match-worn shirt.
The Red Devils suffered their third Premier League defeat of the season as they lost 3-1 to the Hammers at the London Stadium, ensuring their worst start to a campaign in 29 years.
And Shaw, clearly apologetic for the display, made sure to run over to the away fans and thank them for their support.
The Englishman then spotted a young fan holding a sign in the front row and continued to give her his shirt as a souvenir.
Fan quickly took to social media to praise Shaw’s act of generousity, describing him as a ‘top man’ and a ‘class act’.
The 23-year-old has been one of United’s few bright notes so far this season and insisted the players must take responsibility for the ‘horrendous’ defeat.
‘It was not good enough from a Manchester United team with all the talent we have,’ he said following the game.
‘We didn’t look like a team that was going to beat West Ham.
‘If you want the truth I think it was honestly horrendous. I think individually and as a team we were awful.’
