Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is set to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks following a setback in his recovery from a muscle injury. This injury was originally sustained during England’s Euro 2024 campaign, and Shaw has yet to feature for United this season.
The injury issue is reportedly linked to a leg break he suffered a couple of years ago, raising concerns about his long-term career prospects. This development is particularly disappointing for manager Erik ten Hag, who has been forced to utilize Diogo Dalot at left-back in Shaw’s absence, while Tyrell Malacia is also sidelined with injury.
TEN HAG UNDER PRESSURE AS UNITED STRUGGLE
As the Red Devils grapple with a disappointing start to the season, Ten Hag’s job is reportedly on the line. The team has struggled to find consistency, securing only three wins from eight games. With mounting pressure, reports indicate that Ten Hag has just two games to turn things around: a trip to face Portuguese giants FC Porto, followed by a challenging fixture against Aston Villa. The coming weeks will be crucial for both Shaw’s recovery and Ten Hag’s future at the club.
