Luke Shaw might be an important player for Manchester United, the left-back has previously admitted to being a Chelsea fan in the past.

A tweet has resurfaced of Shaw claiming to be a fan of Chelsea.

During his time at Southampton, Shaw was asked if he was a fan of Chelsea and he replied: “Yes I am.”

He also admitted in the tweets from 2013 that he enjoyed playing at Stamford Bridge.

Shaw also backed Chelsea legend Frank Lampard as being a better player than Manchester United legend Paul Scholes and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

Meanwhile, Shaw recently admitted Chelsea legend Ashley Cole was his football idol.

“Obviously I would have to go towards a left-back and one I watched a lot,” Shaw told MUTV when asked to name his footballing idol as a child.

“For me, he was probably one of the best left-backs ever in the game: Ashley Cole. Like I said, I watched him a lot and I wanted to become a player like him.

“I was lucky enough to go to an England camp with him and it was amazing to be around someone I idolised so much and I watched a lot of him and he was the player I wanted to be like when I grew up.”
