United States left back Due to a muscle injury, Luke Shaw will be sidelined for a number of weeks.
The club revealed the injury in a statement on Thursday night, claiming Shaw was “still being assessed.”
He was one of Erik ten Hag’s most consistent starts in his first season in charge and has started both of United’s Premier League games so far this year.
Tyrell Malacia is most likely to take the place of the 28-year-old in their Saturday home game against Nottingham Forest.
In his press conference on Friday, Ten Hag is anticipated to provide an update on team news.
It’s not the first setback to affect Old Trafford this week; Mason Mount’s hamstring injury from last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Tottenham will keep him out for up to six weeks as well.
The outcome followed yet another lackluster effort from the Red Devils, who were fortunate to defeat Wolves in their season opener and lost to Burnley this week in a friendly played behind closed doors.
After seeing their team’s slide stutter to 12th in the standings after two games, fans will be hoping for a quick improvement in performances.
