Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho told Luke Shaw he would have to earn his chance, urging the full-back to learn from Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
England international Shaw was left out of the United squad to face Saint-Etienne in the second leg of their Europa League last-32 tie.
Shaw, 21, has had limited opportunities this season, making just 14 appearances in all competitions.
And Mourinho said the left-back would be given nothing without earning it.
