Cresswell, 31, has been outstanding for the Hammers this season.
It has been quite the turnaround for the former Ipswich Town ace. Most West Ham fans thought he was done last season.
He has reinvigorated his career, however, and looks like a completely different player.
Incredibly, Cresswell has racked up seven Premier League assists this season – more than any other defender in the top flight.
The 31-year-old has been truly outstanding this term.
Aaron Cresswell raves about Luke Shaw
The same can be said off Manchester United ace Luke Shaw. The 25-year-old has five assists to his name in 24 Premier League games.
Cresswell spoke very highly of Luke Shaw, when speaking to the Mirror:
“I’ve been very impressed with Luke. When he first burst on to the scene at Southampton, I remember thinking, ‘This kid’s going to be world class’. He had everything at 17, 18: the size, the power, pace, an ability with the ball. Then he had a bad injury and he had a tough time under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, but this year you could arguably say he has been the best left-back in the Premier League.”
Shaw and Cresswell could both have a big say in the outcome of tonight’s clash between Manchester United and West Ham.
Let’s hope that Cress comes off on top.
It should be a cracking game. And West Ham will need to keep Shaw quiet if we are to leave Old Trafford with a positive result to show for our efforts.
