Luke Shaw is set to rejoin the Manchester United squad for Tuesday night's clash with Everton at Old Trafford following clear-the-air talks with manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho cast further doubt over Shaw's future at United after leaving him out of Saturday's draw with West Brom, claiming the England defender cannot compare to his team-mates in 'the way he trains, the way he commits, the focus, the ambition'.

Shaw responded to the damning appraisal by requesting a meeting with Mourinho in his office at the training ground at 10am on Monday morning.

The 21-year-old appears to have made an impression because he was immediately recalled to the squad that assembled at the Lowry Hotel later in the day to face Everton.

Whether Shaw can become part of Mourinho's plans beyond this summer is another matter, however.

The demanding Portuguese has held reservations about Shaw's attitude for some months and has publicly criticised him on a number of occasions.

The defender has played just twice in the last four months and was left out of the squad completely on Saturday despite a number of injuries to the squad.

It is understood that United will listen to offers for Shaw at the end of the season. They would look to recoup the £27million they paid to Southampton in 2014.

As things stand, Shaw has no wish to extend his £125,000-a-week contract, which has another year to run. If he leaves United, he would want to join another top-six club.

He has been linked with Tottenham — and a reunion with his former Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino — should Spurs sell Danny Rose. Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are all looking to recruit left backs but would be reluctant to pay more than £15m.

Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher believes time is running out for Shaw at United.

‘I don’t think any player likes to be publicly criticised by a manager,’ said Carragher, talking to promote Sky Sports’ upcoming Premier League coverage.

‘He’s publicly called him out again and it’s more about questioning his training and character than his ability. I think it’s a long road back now under Mourinho at Manchester United for Shaw. I would be surprised if he is there next season.’

However, former United defender Phil Neville believes there is still time for Shaw to salvage his Old Trafford career.

‘Rather than thinking, “The manager doesn’t rate me”, I’d be thinking, “I have to pull my finger out here”,’ said Neville.

‘Someone with that ability has got to be England and Man United’s No 1 left back, and if he’s not then there is something fundamentally wrong.

'This could be the kick up the backside he needs.’

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrera rejoin the United squad following suspension, while Paul Pogba is among the 18-man party after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Ibrahimovic’s absence was felt during the goalless draw with West Brom as fifth-placed United drew at home in the Premier League for the eighth time this season.

United desperately need a win to close the gap on fourth-placed Manchester City, while defeat would see Tuesday night's visitors Everton replace them in fifth.
