Ruben Amorim has made Luke Shaw stance clear amid Manchester United doubts

Luke Shaw's long-term Manchester United future is in doubt. The 29-year-old has endured a torrid time with injuries, having played just three matches across all competitions this season.

Shaw made his long-awaited return from a calf problem for Ruben Amorim's first game in charge - a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town in November. He came off the bench for subsequent matches against PAOK and Everton, before suffering yet another setback.
