Warnock praise for Shelton
Neil Warnock has heaped praise on Luton Shelton following his fine display at Old Trafford, but feels the Jamaican has set himself a high standard following his excellent full debut.
Shelton was asked to plough a lone furrow in attack, but caused The Red Devils' defence a host of problems throughout and should have been awarded a penalty in the second half
Warnock has revealed that he did not want to use Shelton this term, but admits the striker's performance has given him food for thought.
"I thought Luton Shelton did ever so well on his debut," Warnock told Sky Sports.
"He has set his own standards now, it will be difficult to keep up with that.
"I said it might be a bit different when you have Chris Morgan behind you whacking you rather than Wes Brown and them chesting it down.
"He did ever so well and it is pleasing. I did not want to rush him as he has so much to learn. "I really wanted him for next season, but he has shown he can be a threat."
