Carrick highlighted Shaw's consistency, performance, experience, and strengths, praising him as a "fantastic full-back." He noted that Shaw's availability has been affected by the high number of games and injuries, which can be challenging for any player to manage.

Carrick also acknowledged that Shaw's experience and maturity will be valuable assets next season, regardless of the number of games he plays. "He's at a stage now where he's got a lot of experience, he's been with the club for a long time, and he knows what it takes to succeed," Carrick said.

He added that Shaw's experience will be beneficial, even if he doesn't start every game. "Next season will be a new challenge, and Shaw will be able to draw on his experience to adapt and manage his body," Carrick said.
