It is no secret that Erik ten Hag is a Luke Shaw fan. "Luke Shaw is the best left-back in the world," said the Manchester United manager, speaking to Dutch news outlet Vi.NL in May. "This guy is so good. "But he has suffered a horrible injury at the start of his career and because of this he will never be able to play 60 games per season." In Ten Hag's first season in charge at Old Trafford, Shaw racked up 47 appearances, playing an instrumental role in the club securing a top four finish and bagging their first trophy in six years.

He has never played more games for United in a single season.

By comparison, Shaw played just 15 times for United last season. His campaign reached its conclusion during the 2-1 win over Luton Town on February 18 and he has not played for the club since.

The muscle injury he encountered at Kenilworth Road looked as though it would deny him a role in the England squad at the European Championship.
