Last weekend's game once again left Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw injured and this time it looked really serious. As a fan, it's really mixed to see that his season may end early like this. Luke Shaw is more than just a left-back for us at Manchester United, he's a constant force in defence. His re-injury was undoubtedly a huge blow to the team.
It's not just that he could miss all the games left, but that his absence would make our left defence extremely weak. Coach Ten Hag must also have a headache, after all, Argentina's iron defender Martinez is also injured, and right-back Wan-Bissaka may also miss for several weeks, so our Manchester United defence can be said to be stretched.
I can't help but sigh when I think of Luke Shaw. It's been 10 years since he arrived at Manchester United, but injuries have been a big shadow over his career. Originally, his form rebounded last season, playing in 78% of the games, setting a new career high, and we all thought that he had finally gotten rid of the label of "glass man", but we didn't expect that this season was again frequent.
Ten Hag is also in a difficult situation at the moment, with a shortage of left-back positions, Sergio Reguilon sent back to Tottenham in the winter window, and youngster Bruno Fernandes has also been loaned out. Although Darlow can shoot left and right, this is clearly not a long-term solution. It now appears that the boss may have to look in the academy to see if there is a suitable candidate, or restructure the formation again and use players from other positions to act as left-back on a temporary basis.
Luke Shaw's injury is also a big loss for England. With the European Championship just around the corner, Southgate will now have to consider other options. Luke Shaw was in good form and whether he could make it to the European Championship is still unclear.
As fans, we certainly hope that Luke Shaw can recover as soon as possible, but more importantly we hope that he can get rid of his injury once and for all and get back to his best form. At the same time, it is also hoped that Ten Hag can find a solution to the left-back position, not only for this season, but also for Luke Shaw to have a better home. After all, there is always a need for heroes on the football field, and Luke Shaw is undoubtedly the one in our hearts.
