Manchester United secured a vital 2-1 win over Brentford, but the result was overshadowed by an injury concern for Luke Shaw. The left-back was forced off during the game, raising fresh doubts over his availability for the final stretch of the season.
Shaw has been a key figure in United’s campaign. The defender was just four matches away from completing every Premier League game of the season, a personal milestone that now hangs in the balance. His early exit has left the medical staff with a quick turnaround to assess the extent of the problem.
The timing is far from ideal for Michael Carrick. United are closing in on a Champions League spot and have maintained a strong hold on third place for several weeks. The win over Brentford has pushed them closer to securing qualification, but Shaw’s fitness could become a major concern in the coming days.
Sources close to the club indicate that Shaw will undergo further checks before a final diagnosis is made. At this stage, there is no clear timeline for his return.
Shaw’s consistency this season has been one of the standout positives for United. His defensive solidity and attacking support have played a key role in the team’s stability. Losing him now could disrupt the balance just when the stakes are highest.
