Gary Neville singled out Luke Shaw for criticism after Antoine Semenyo found an equaliser for Bournemouth against Manchester United, insisting the defender had to be ‘stronger’ in the build-up.

‘There’s an inquest going on at that far side, but he [Semenyo] is a special player,’ the former Manchester United and England right-back said on Sky Sports ’ commentary.

‘ Mason Mount just pops it back to Shaw and then Luke Shaw just gets barged out of the way. It’s a little bit of a shoulder to shoulder.

‘There’s a lot to do, an awful lot to do, and he just basically gets shoulder barged out of the way by Justin Kluivert.

‘He’s got to be stronger there, Shaw, and he just leaves his team-mates in a position whereby they’ve almost got to invite Semenyo to shoot because if you go out too early they will just play it across.

‘Can you beat the goalkeeper? Yes you can. It’s an absolutely wonderful finish, everything you’d want in teaching a young forward. He just side foots it but with such power.
