'Everyone would admit that' - Luke Shaw reveals who is to blame for injury troubles at Man Utd that have put his Euro 2024 hopes in jeopardy

The Manchester United defender suffered a hamstring injury against Luton in February and reaggravated the issue as he pushed to get fit for last month's FA Cup final clash with arch-rivals Manchester City.

Shaw said: "I felt something against Aston Villaand came off at half-time. It’s kind of everyone’s fault. Partly my fault, partly medical staff, I think everyone would admit that. The scan came back and there wasn’t too much there. But I didn’t train all week, then trained the day before the game. If the manager asks me to play, I’m never going to say no. I shouldn’t have played."

Shaw has been included in Gareth Southgate's squad despite suffering an injury-hit season which has seen him turn out 15 times for Manchester United and heads to the Euros having not played since mid-February. HIs inclusion comes with Southgate having a lack of left-back options, with Ben Chilwell not named in the Three Lions squad after also enduring an injury-ravaged season. Shaw is the only recognised out-and-out left-back in Southgate's 26-man squad.

England begin their Euro 2024 tilt next Sunday when they take on Serbia in Gelsenkirchen. Shaw is not expected to be fit in time for the opener, which means Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier is likely to start at left-back, with the hope being that Shaw will be fit in time to face Denmark on June 20.
