Man Utd suffer injury blow ahead of game vs Nottingham Forest

Manchester United led by Erik ten Hag have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their weekend match vs Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils will be without their defender Luke Shaw suffered a muscle injury that will keep him on the sidelines for a long period.

Shaw has been a key player and a regular face in Ten Hag’s first squad featuring for 90 minutes in Manchester United’s first two games.

A report via The Athletic revealed that the player will not be available in Saturday’s home game against Nottingham Forest and next week’s showdown with Arsenal.

Manchester United, in a brief statement on Thursday, confirmed the report

“Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has sustained an injury which will rule him out of forthcoming games.

“The muscle issue is still being assessed,” the club said.

Meanwhile, Man Utd will hope to return to winning ways by defeating Nottingham Forest after their last weekend’s defeat to Tottenham.
