Manchester United’s victory over Luton Town came with a worry as Luke Shaw was forced off the pitch just before halftime due to injury.
Manager Erik ten Hag expressed his concern, admitting that the situation “doesn’t look great.” Although the exact nature and severity of Shaw’s injury remain unclear, it was evident that it was more than just a knock.
Despite Shaw’s absence, the substitution didn’t hinder Manchester United’s performance, with the score remaining unchanged until the final whistle.
Shaw’s injury adds to Manchester United’s woes in the left-back position, especially with Tyrell Malacia sidelined due to a knee injury.
The left-back has faced fitness concerns throughout the season, making only his 12th Premier League start against Luton Town.
Manchester United’s next fixture is against Fulham, and the team will hope to have Shaw available for selection. However, with the extent of his injury uncertain, ten Hag and his team will need to assess the situation carefully.
