Manchester United fear fresh injury setback as star could miss rest of season

Luke Shaw could miss the rest of the season after suffering a fresh injury blow in Manchester United's win over Luton Town last weekend. The 28-year-old was replaced before the half-time interval at Kenilworth Road after overcoming a late fitness test to even be involved in the match in the first place.

Shaw had also been taken off at half-time of United's away win against Aston Villa a week earlier and was declared a doubt for the trip to face Luton on Sunday afternoon.

However, Erik ten Hag was desperate for the left-back to be involved at Luton and said ahead of the match that as long as he was fit, he would be playing.

Shaw's latest setback is another huge blow to United after he missed three months earlier in the campaign due to a separate issue with his thigh muscle. His injury comes at a dreadful time for United, when Lisandro Martinez is facing eight weeks on the sidelines and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also expected to be out for a few more weeks.

It leaves United with only one fit senior full-back in Diogo Dalot, with Tyrell Malacia yet to play this season as he recovers from surgery. Sergio Reguilon had his loan deal cut short last month, while academy youngster Alvaro Fernandez was sent back on loan to Benfica.

United have 13 matches remaining in the Premier League season as they go in search of Champions League qualification, while they are also still involved in the FA Cup.
