Manchester United could be without one of their key players for up to 2 months, putting even more pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks after suffering a setback in his recovery.

Shaw is yet to feature this season after suffering a muscle injury sustained during England's Euro 2024 campaign.

The issue is reportedly linked to the leg break he suffered a couple of years ago, casting significant doubts over his long-term career.

This is particularly disappointing for manager Erik ten Hag, who has been forced to deploy Diogo Dalot at left-back in Shaw's absence, with Tyrell Malacia also sidelined with injury.

The Red Devils have struggled to find consistency, securing just three wins from eight games, and reports suggest he has only two games to save his job - a trip to face Portuguese giants FC Porto, followed by a difficult fixture against Aston Villa.
