Injury Crisis Deepens for Man Utd

Luke Shaw Out for Opening Games

Manchester United have been dealt a significant blow with the news that left-back Luke Shaw will miss the opening fixtures of the Premier League season.

The England international suffered a calf injury during the early stages of pre-season training, forcing him to sit out the entirety of the club’s pre-season campaign.

Shaw, who had only recently returned to full fitness following a previous injury, was hoping to regain his place in the starting lineup after featuring in the Euro 2024 final for England. However, this latest setback will require patience and diligent rehabilitation.

The club has confirmed that the 29-year-old will be sidelined until after the first international break of the season. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by manager Erik ten Hag, as Shaw has been a key figure in the team when fit.
