Manchester United issue injury update on Luke Shaw

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has issued an update on Luke Shaw after the left-back was withdrawn at half-time against Leicester.

The 26-year-old received treatment towards the end of the first half of the 1-1 draw only to solider on until half-time. Shaw did not reappear for the second half. Alex Telles was called upon to see out the game.

Shaw played for England during the international break, having recently overcome Covid. It is the latest blow in a frustrating season with Shaw, who has struggled for both form and fitness since helping the Three Lions to the Euro 2020 final, in which he scored.

Ralf Rangnick, speaking to MUTV has moved to clarify Shaw's situation. He said: "He had some problems last week, when he was with the England team, with his old injury when he had an operation on a broken leg.

"This showed up again today. That's the reason why we had to substitute him at half-time," he added.

Shaw suffered a sickening double leg fracture during the Reds' Champions League clash against PSV in 2015 where he was out for a number of months.
