Luke Shaw’s return to first-team training has provided a significant boost for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. The English defender had appeared in the initial two matches of the season against Wolves and Tottenham but had been absent from action since then, missing both England’s recent games and his club’s Champions League fixtures.
Due to injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilon, Ten Hag had to resort to makeshift solutions at left-back, deploying Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, and Sofyan Amrabat in that position. Shaw was observed training with the first team ahead of United’s Everton game, but the club hasn’t confirmed whether he’s set to return for the upcoming fixture.
Earlier, Ten Hag had been discreet about Shaw’s absence, citing a muscle issue that arose after the Spurs match, paralleling Mason Mount’s injury during the same period.
Mount has since made a comeback in September but has experienced intermittent appearances in the starting lineup. Information regarding Shaw’s recovery had been scarce, making the recent news a welcome development amidst a prolonged list of injuries for the Old Trafford club.
United faced setbacks before the international break as Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen withdrew from Denmark’s squad. Ten Hag had previously expressed doubts about their fitness following the win over Luton Town. Eriksen sustained a knee injury, forecasting a month-long absence, while Hojlund suffered a muscle strain, aiming for a return before November’s end.
Furthermore, Andre Onana encountered an issue while playing for Cameroon, although there’s hope for his fitness ahead of the Everton clash. Despite this, United continues to grapple with absences, including Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro among the prominent names sidelined.
