Shaw, who was criticised for showing lack of commitment by Mourinho last weekend, was recalled to the squad for the Engalish Premier League clash against the Merseyside club at Old
Trafford.
The 21-year-old was introduced from the bench in the second half with Manchester United trailing and his stoppage-time shot led to the penalty that Zlatan Ibrahimovic slotted home to earn a share of the points.
“He (Shaw) had a good performance but it was his body with my brain,” Mourinho told the British media.
“He was in front of me and I was making every decision for him.
“The communication was possible because we were very close. I was thinking for him, when to close inside, when to open, when to press the opponent, I was making every decision for him.”
Shaw, a highly rated teenager when he joined United at the start of 2014-15 season, was making just his 16th appearance of the season after dropping down the pecking order under the Portuguese manager.
Mourinho said he wanted Shaw to accelerate his learning process to fulfil his potential at the club.
“At this level we need the fantastic body he has to play football, the very good technical ability he has, but he cannot
play with my understanding of the game,” the 54-year-old added.
“He must accelerate the process because he is 21 years old and that is old enough to have a better understanding of the game.”
Fifth-placed United are on a 20-game unbeaten league run going into their visit to bottom side Sunderland on Sunday.
Liverpool fined over approach for Stoke starlet
Liverpool were hit with an academy transfer ban and ordered to pay £100,000 ($124,000, 117,000 euros) after admitting their part in the ‘tapping up’ of a promising Stoke youngster.
The Premier League club won’t be able to sign any academy players who have been registered with a Premier League or Football League team in the last 18 months.
Although the ban is for two years, the second 12 months has been suspended for a three-year period and will only be activated in the event of any further similar breach by the club.
A brief statement from Liverpool said: “The club accepts the sanction.”
The case involves forbidden inducements offered to a 12-year-old at Stoke and whom Liverpool accept they spoke to before they should have and also paid for him and some of his family to attend a game at Anfield.
Liverpool also offered to pay the player’s school fees, which were being paid by Stoke at this time, but this was a breach of newly-introduced regulations which state a benefit can only be offered if it is applicable to all youngsters across the club’s academy and this was not the case.
It is understood Liverpool offered to pay these fees because Stoke were already doing so and had every intention of signing the youngster until the Premier League stepped in as result of their interpretation of rule 299.1 and specifically relating to the payment of the player’s school fees. The registration process and Liverpool’s transparency and openness on the school fees issues is what has ultimately led to the investigation and sanction.
Meanwhile Klopp has said his Liverpool team must be prepared to play ugly football to secure Champions League qualification following the injury to productive forward Sadio Mane ahead of clash against Bournemouth.
