BREAKING Manchester United dealt fresh Luke Shaw injury worry in Premier League fixture vs Luton

Defender Luke Shaw was forced off in the closing stages of the first half of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Sunday afternoon.

Passed fit in the build-up to the game after being withdrawn at half-time as a precaution against Aston Villa seven days earlier, the England international was replaced in first-half injury time. Like at Villa Park, he was replaced by Victor Lindelof.

Shaw did not appear to be in any sort of discomfort as he made his way towards the tunnel to return to the away dressing room, walking off the pitch unaided and without any sign of a limp or anything of that nature. United did not confirm the nature of his injury during the week, though they conceded it was nothing overly serious.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag said: "Luke is doubtful for the weekend but we are positive he can make it. He came out as a precaution, it was the right direction. We work until Sunday."

His inclusion in the starting line-up meant Ten Hag was able to name an unchanged XI in the Premier League for the first time since August.The Reds came flying out of the traps, racing into a two-goal lead inside just seven minutes courtesy of a Rasmus Hojlund double.

However, Luton got themselves back into the contest just seven minutes after the Dane's second, getting on the scoresheet through Carlton Morris. United led
