- Shaw suffers injury
- Out for an extended period
- Has started first two games
WHAT HAPPENED? Shaw has sustained a muscle injury, the club have announced, and United are now assessing the extent of his issue. They claim that "the England left-back is expected to be out of action for a number of weeks."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Shaw has developed into a key player for manager Erik ten Hag, making 27 appearances last season and starting both of United's first two games of the current campaign. Back-up option Tyrell Malacia is also injured, and it remains to be seen if the club will attempt to sign cover before the end of the transfer window.
AND WHAT'S MORE: United beat Wolves 1-0 on the opening weekend of the Premier League season but were then beaten 2-0 by Tottenham. The Red Devils face Nottingham Forest in their next fixture, and the club then face tricky fixtures against Arsenal and Brighton.
