text: Luke Shaw has conceded his debut season at Manchester United has been a frustrating one and admits he doesn't know what he would do if he scored against boyhood club Chelsea on Saturday. Shaw joined United last summer in a £31.5million transfer from Southampton after an impressive campaign on the south coast, which resulted in him playing for England at the World Cup. However, injuries have plagued the 19-year-old's start to life at Old Trafford with the defender picking up his latest fitness setback during United's 2-1 FA Cup sixth-round exit at home to Arsenal last month.

'If I was to write a school report on my first season here I’d give myself a C-. You don’t realise just how big Man United is until you’re actually here – it’s frightening!

'I’m playing with the likes of Wayne Rooney, [Angel] Di Maria, [Radamel] Falcao and it’s weird because my friends always talk about them, saying how good they are and I’m just thinking “Wow, I play with them!” I’m probably one of the luckiest 19-year-olds to be alive,' he added. Shaw missed United's 4-2 demolition of Manchester City on Sunday as he continues to recover from the injury picked up on FA Cup duty against Arsenal.

It was really good when I got to play at Stamford Bridge, I would say that’s my favourite away stadium to go to. Chelsea is one of the first games I look for when the new fixtures come out. 'I haven’t scored yet so I don’t know. If my first goal was to come against Chelsea I’m not sure what I’d do.'
