Luke Shaw Faces New Injury Setback for Manchester United

Even though Shaw missed a significant part of club football, he participated in three crucial matches for England during the European Championship, including the semi-final and final, demonstrating his resilience and skill on the international stage. However, after Shaw's recent calf strain, United's medical team is adopting a careful and comprehensive approach to his rehabilitation, focusing on a full recovery rather than a hasty return that could result in additional setbacks.

This absence occurs at a particularly difficult time for United, as their already weakened defence faces further strain with several players out and the team struggling to maintain consistency. Ruud van Nistelrooy is poised to step in as the caretaker manager, tasked with stabilizing the squad during this uncertain period, especially as he makes his debut at Old Trafford without Shaw and other crucial players.

Shaw's path to recovery from injury has become a familiar story, yet his determination and commitment are beyond question. Ten Hag and Manchester United can only hope that this meticulous rehabilitation process will soon result in a fully fit Luke Shaw returning to Old Trafford, prepared to strengthen the team's defence and break the cycle of injuries affecting their backline.
