Liverpool FC hero issues jibe at Manchester United's Luke Shaw on social media

Liverpool fan favourite Jose Enrique has claimed Manchester United's Luke Shaw 'looks overweight'.

United drew 1-1 against Leicester on Saturday evening and Shaw started in the match. The left-back played the first half but was forced to be substituted for Alex Telles at the interval after sustaining an ankle knock just before half-time.

Although Shaw tried to continue and run off the knock, Telles was eventually needed to replace him. Enrique was watching the game and he took to social media to take a swipe at Shaw, claiming that the England international didn't look fit.

Jose Mourinho's relationship with Shaw was turbulent and the former United boss questioned his weight on record.

Shaw was arguably the best left-back in the world last season but now his weight has been scrutinised again by the former LFC star.

"Is just me or Luke Shaw looks overweight?", Enrique wrote.

"Maybe he will be even better player if he was in better shape because to be honest he has great qualities."

When questioned about his criticism, Enrique went on to add: "I never watch any United games."
