Man United may have to cope without Luke Shaw for the remainder of the campaign…

Just when it seems like things are looking up on the injury front for Manchester United, the Red Devils are dealt another cruel blow.

Lisandro Martinez may well be out for the remainder of the term. Now, another defender has been added to that list…

Luke Shaw was substituted off just before half-time of the Luton Town game at the weekend, for the second game in a row he has to come off the field with a problem. However, this time it’s far more serious.

According to the Daily Mail, the key star may miss the rest of the season with a recurrence of a leg problem. Dealing United a potentially major blow…

Shaw was spotted limping heavily upon his departure from Kenilworth Road on Sunday evening, which immediately raised cause for concern. To hear that he may not play again is a real gut punch, particularly as there’s no other fit left-backs at the club right now.

Tyrell Malacia hasn’t played once this season and it’s still unclear when he’s fit to return. Alvaro Fernandez is away on loan, while Sergio Reguilon was sent back from his loan in January. It’s not looking like the best decision the club has ever made as things stand.

In terms of the options, we’ll write up a full article on who could replace Shaw, but right now, it’s looking like we’re going to see a heavy dose of Victor Lindelof at left-back, at least in the short-term. I would be intrigued if Harry Amass is thrust into the senior setup, though.

It’s also a major concern for Gareth Southgate, with the 2024 European Championships taking place this summer. No doubt Shaw is hoping to be fit for that competition, as his Three Lions have a very decent chance at going all the way.

Who do you think will replace Luke Shaw at left-back for the rest of the season? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.
