Shaw was asked by the official United website to choose the opponents who have given him the hardest time on the field.

And Victor Moses - who made 80 appearances for Latics between 2010-12 before moving to Chelsea for £9million - made the cut alongside some of the greatest players of their generation.

"People always think I am joking, but one of my hardest games ever was against Victor Moses when I was coming in as a 17-year-old at Southampton," said Shaw.

"Maybe because I was so young. He was really quick, direct, strong and that was a challenge for me.

"I've played against the likes of Gareth Bale, Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard, and they were all so good, but I always remember Victor Moses as a really tough opponent as well."

Moses, now 29, joined Inter Milan in January on loan from Chelsea.

He has 38 caps for Nigeria, for whom he’s scored 12 goals.
