He was even substituted at half-time during Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton - throwing his future further into doubt.
Shaw is now likely to leave at the end of the season with Stamford Bridge a preferred option according to the Daily Mail - unless manager Mourinho leaves first.

Last season, Mourinho described one of Shaw’s displays as “his body with my brain” and told the England international to “accelerate the learning process”.
