Luke Shaw ruled out of Manchester United's opening three Premier League matches

Manchester United's Luke Shaw is facing another injury setback, which will see him sidelined for the first three games of the season. The left-back has suffered a calf injury and is expected to be out until next month's international break. This means he will miss crucial matches against Fulham, Liverpool, and Brighton. There are concerns that the 29-year-old may also miss England's Nations League fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland under new interim manager Lee Carsley.

"Luke Shaw will miss the opening games of the Premier League season due to a calf injury sustained at the start of pre-season training," said a United statement.

"He is working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to being available after the first international break."

Shaw was selected in England's Euro 2024 squad despite travelling to Germany with a hamstring injury and was unable to play until the quarter-final against Switzerland.

He only made his first start of the tournament in the final, with England losing 2-1 to Spain in Berlin as their wait for a first major men's football title since winning the 1966 World Cup on home soil was extended to 58 years.
