Left back for Man U. The muscle ιnjury that Luke Shaw sustained will keep him out of action for a while.

The club released a statement on Thursday night saying that Shaw was “still being assessed” after suffering the ιnjury.

So far this season, he has started both Premier League games United has played and was one of Erik ten Hag’s most reliable starting lineup choices last year.

Tyrell Malacia would have been the most likely substitute for the 28-year-old in Saturday’s home game against Nottingham Forest.On Friday, Ten Hag will hold a press conference to update the media on the latest team developments.

Mason Mount, who suffered a hamstring ιnjury in last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Tottenham, will also out for up to six weeks, making this the second major ιnjury to strike Old Trafford this week.

The defeat followed another lackluster showing by the Red Devils, who had to pull off a late victory over Wolves in their season opener then were trounced by Burnley in a friendly played behind closed doors this week.After a disappointing first two games, fans will be hoping for a quick turnaround in results.

Manchester United suffer major Luke Shaw ιnjury blоw

The 28-year-old is United’s first choice at left defender and has started both of the club’s Premier League games so far this season.

On Saturday night, despite Shaw’s best efforts, Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils lost 2-0 against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The defender signed with United in June 2014, having previously played for Southampton. He has now appeared in 262 games for United, during which time he has scored four goals.

“Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has sustained an ιnjury that will rule him out of forthcoming games,” stated the announcement on the team’s official website.

The severity of the muscle ιnjury is still unknown, but the England left back will likely miss several games.

Shaw is expected to miss some time this week as United gets ready for their next league match because of a muscular ailment.

The severity of the ιnjury is still being evaluated, but it is believed that Man United knows their left back will miss at least two weeks of action.

Shaw is expected to miss England’s international camp in September due to his ιnjury, meaning he won’t be able to play in the next matches against Ukrаine and Scotland.Ten Hag has a tough decision to make at left back for this weekend’s game because Tyrell Malacia is also sidelined with an ιnjury, leaving Man United without a proven starter.

Brandon Williams, a promising young player, could have participated, but he recently signed a season-long loan with Championship club Ipswich Town.

New signing Mason Mount will miss the next two games for Man United due to an ιnjury sustained before the international break.

While the Dane has yet to make his club debut since coming from Atalanta BC during the summer transfer window, he may be available to play against Nottingham Forest this weekend at Old Trafford after recovering from a back ailment.

Since Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been keeping Diogo Dalot out of the starting lineup at right back, the Portuguese defender may be in line to start at left back when Steve Cooper’s Tricky Trees come to Manchester.
