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.<\/p>\n
Shaw has been a key figure in United\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s fitness could become a major concern in the coming days.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Shaw\u2019s 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\u2019s stability. Losing him now could disrupt the balance just when the stakes are highest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
