Liverpool Vs Man United: Boost For Erik Ten Hag As Luke Shaw Return Ahead Of EPL Clash

Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, provided positive news on Luke Shaw’s injury status, indicating the defender’s potential return to face Liverpool in the upcoming Premier League fixture.

Ten Hag revealed that Shaw, who sustained a hamstring issue during the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, participated in Friday’s training session and is anticipated to be available for the crucial encounter at Anfield against Liverpool.

Following Shaw’s substitution in the Champions League match, Aaron Wan-Bissaka took his place, with Diogo Dalot shifting positions. This injury setback came mere weeks after Shaw’s return from a prolonged absence due to a thigh muscle injury.

While Harry Maguire faces a short-term absence due to injury, Ten Hag confirmed Shaw’s fitness for the Liverpool fixture. Additionally, Marcus Rashford is set to return, while Anthony Martial remains sidelined.

Shaw’s potential availability brings a sigh of relief for Manchester United, especially considering their vulnerability when utilizing Dalot, a right-back, on the left flank. This news comes amidst a challenging period for the Red Devils, who are striving to regain form ahead of a demanding match against the current Premier League leaders.

With Manchester United aiming to reverse their recent struggles, Shaw’s potential return stands as a significant boost, providing crucial support as they brace themselves for the formidable test against Liverpool.
