Manchester United faced a setback as Luke Shaw hobbled off the pitch during their game against Luton, adding to their injury concerns in defense. Shaw, who had been substituted off in the previous match as a precaution, picked up another problem just before half-time, which manager Erik ten Hag later confirmed was not a knock.
Shaw’s injury forced him to be replaced by Victor Lindelof, adding to United’s defensive woes with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia already sidelined. Despite fitness concerns leading up to the game, Shaw was deemed fit to play, highlighting his importance to the team when available. However, Shaw’s injury record has been a concern for fans, with the left-back already missing 20 matches this season.
Some fans expressed frustration over his fitness issues, calling for a replacement due to his recurring injuries. Despite Shaw’s injury, United managed to secure a vital 2-1 victory over Luton, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring a brace in the first seven minutes. Carlton Morris pulled one back for Luton, but United held on to secure all three points.
