Sports Luke Shaw hails Paul Pogba's return to Manchester United's side after an impressive cameo

Luke Shaw has heaped praise on the impact Paul Pogba made during Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Friday night.

The France international won a penalty which Bruno Fernandes converted to put the Red Devils on level terms.

Pogba had not played for United in the league since Boxing Day and Shaw was impressed.

On Pogba's performance, Shaw told MUTV: 'I told him afterwards how much of a difference he made.

'He didn't play for that long but obviously it's great to have him and Marcus Rashford back in the side.

'They are very important players and maybe we can see Paul from the start on Wednesday.'

It looked like Fernandes would have a second opportunity from the spot 10 minutes later when referee Jonathan Moss saw another foul by Eric Dier, but the video referee rightly overturned the decision.

United were full value for their point and had a host of chances to win the game in the second half as Spurs failed to see it out, despite their pragmatic approach.

The hosts led after Bergwijn’s 27th-minute strike, which earned United goalkeeper David De Gea strong criticism – notably from former captain Roy Keane – for not stopping a shot which was straight at him.

A win for Mourinho against his former club would have put them firmly back in the race for the Champions League but they remain outsiders, still four points behind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, who extended their unbeaten run to 12 games in all competitions.
