"Manchester United officially announced that the iron gate injury may be out for several months, and the European Championship will not be available
Another injury to England's left-winger Luke Shaw has put a difficult end to a difficult season after Manchester United's 2-1 thrashing of Luton Town last week. The 28-year-old striker was substituted at half-time and tests confirmed that he would be out for an extended period of time with a muscle strain. Great Britain had feared he would not be able to play in the rest of the tournaments, including the European Championships this summer.
Luke Shaw passed a pre-match medical check-up at Kenilworth Road and even played first, but it was a bit too hasty for Shaw, who picked up an injury at Aston Villa a week ago. However, boss Jens ten Hagel is under intense pressure to compete for a top-four finish and the team is short of a left-back, so he says he will start the game if Shaw can stay fit.
So, Luke Shaw hasn't been on the pitch for long. In a statement released on Wednesday, Manchester United said: "Luke Shaw will be out for an extended period of time due to a muscle strain. We need to do a further check on his injury, but we expect him to be out for a few months. ”
Luke Shaw hasn't played for 92 days with a thigh muscle strain, and after three months, it looks like he's being again this season"Glass Man"。In 2015, he suffered 288 days of broken leg injuries and in 2017 he experienced another 112 days of serious injuries. However, the latest injury could keep him out for longer.
Statistically, Luke Shaw has only played above 70% twice in 10 years. This season, his win rate has been below 50% for the fifth time! Last season, Ten Hagel played a record 78 per cent appearances, but sadly, his performances have slipped again this season, just as he did when he first arrived. All in all, he only hit 50 per cent of the shots when he played for Manchester United.
England star Carlos' injury has been a huge disappointment for Ten Hagel as Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez has been sidelined for up to eight weeks with a hamstring injury. Manchester United's first squad is now missing two full-backs, with Portugal's Diogo Dalow and right wing-back Wan-Bissaka also likely to be out for a couple of weeks.
In January, United brought Reggie Lang and youngster Álvaro Fernandes back to Benfica on loan, but Ten Hagel's signing of Dutchman Terrell Malacia has not returned, leaving the right-back position vacant. Malachia has not recovered from his knee injury and has yet to play a single game this season.
Darlow can move on both the left and the right at the same time, but on his left, there is no one who can replace him. Due to Luke Shaw's injury, Ten Hagel used Swedish centre-back Victor Lindelof at left-back, but the performances were not satisfactory; Victor Lindelof is a right-footed player who can't win free-kicks for his team and he doesn't defend well enough.
With 13 league games to play, United must beat either Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa to qualify for next season's European Cup. In the next game, Manchester United will face Nottingham Forest. Luke Shaw's injury has also caused headaches for England manager Gareth Southgate, who will be sure to miss the warm-up games against Brazil and Belgium next month, and it will be up to him whether he will be able to play in the European Championship final in Germany.
Ten Hag has also used Sofian Amrabat at left wing-back this season, but unfortunately he has not performed as well as he should. Now, he seems to be speeding up the selection of young players from the youth team and praying that Marachia can become a qualified coach sooner rather than later.
England's 16-year-old Harry Armas has been eyeing the 53-year-old Dutch boss since his move to Manchester United last year. There is disagreement within United over whether to let him be selected too early, but Ten Hagel does need him.
