After the loud neighbor Man City won the treble of titles in the previous season, Luke Shaw expressed the thoughts of Manchester United.
The previous year, Manchester United’s opponents, Manchester City, were able to defeat them and win the historic treble. The defeat of the Red Devils in the final of the FA Cup by Manchester City, who went on to win the UEFA Champions League a few days later, was even more excruciating.

Man City won the only treble in the history of English football in 1999. They shattered the monopoly that Man United had held on English football by winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Luke Shaw, speaking to the BBC about how the Manchester United players are feeling in the wake of the triumph that the loud neighbor achieved, stated, “It definitely wounded us a lot.
When I see them at the England team gathering, we all share their agony as players for Manchester United, but it’s especially intense for me. It is difficult to accept. We can’t allow that to keep happening, it’s unacceptable.
“Now it’s time for us to make our mark, and we can’t let things be so easy for City. In the past, it was too easy. As a player, we couldn’t accept it. get it happening again”.
Joining United in 2014, Shaw is currently the longest-serving player in United’s first team following the departure of goalkeeper David de Gea. During his 9 years here, Shaw won 4 FA Cups, 1 Europa League and 2 Carabao Cups.
“Obviously it’s not enough. I know. I think the whole club understands that too. To be successful we need to challenge every title and win all competitions. We feel we deserve it. The club can win two more tournaments last season,” Luke Shaw said strongly about Man United’s ambitions.
This summer, Man United have added many quality stars as goalkeeper Andre Onana and midfielder Mason Mount. In addition, striker Rasmus Hojlund is also about to arrive at Old Trafford.
