Erik ten Hag is hopeful that Luke Shaw will be fit for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Luton Town on Sunday.
The defender was removed at half-time during last Sunday’s 2-1 win against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Ten Hag said that decision was a ‘precaution’, given Shaw’s history with injuries.
United travel to Luton on Sunday looking to build on recent form that has seen them win four of their last six matches.
And, while Ten Hag says Shaw is still a doubt, he hopes he will prove his fitness in time.
‘Yes, so he is doubtful for the weekend but we are positive he can make it,’ Ten Hag told reporters.
‘So, he fell out [of the Villa game], it was a precaution and I think it was the right decision, especially when you, afterwards, win the game.
‘But we are working to Sunday.’
United are currently without Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia in full-back positions.
Malacia hasn’t featured all season, while Wan-Bissaka has missed the last month.
‘Wan-Bissaka will take some weeks because he picked up another injury in training last week. Mason [Mount] and Tyrell will take some more weeks.’
