Shaw seeking United lift-off

LUKE Shaw believes Manchester United need to use the "massive" derby win against Manchester City to start a winning run.

Confidence was at a low ebb for both sides as they met in Wednesday's EFL Cup tie, with City unable to eke out victories of late and United reeling from Sunday's 4-0 humiliation at Chelsea.

Juan Mata swept home in the second half to give United the bragging rights as well as a timely shot in the arm, bolstering confidence at an important time in the season.

Shaw wants to build on the 1-0 win when Burnley arrive in the Premier League tomorrow, with the left-back also targeting wins at Fenerbahce and Swansea before the international break.

"It was very important," the left-back said. "We focused on Man City leading up to the game.

"We saw (Pep) Guardiola said it was like a final and to us that is what it felt like and to get the win was massive.

"I think a big confidence boost after obviously the disappointing result that we bounced back, got a win and now we need to go on a winning streak I would say."

Meanwhile, United manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for his comments about referee Anthony Taylor prior to the goalless draw at Liverpool.

The Altrincham-based official's appointment for the October 17 derby raised eyebrows in some quarters and Keith Hackett, the former head of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited body, claimed the appointment would place undue pressure on the referee.

When those comments were put to Mourinho ahead of the match, the United boss said: "I think Mr Taylor is a very good referee, but I think somebody with intention is putting such a pressure on him that I feel that it will be difficult for him to have a very good performance."

Mourinho has until 6pm on Monday to respond to the charge.
