Man Utd confirm big injury blow for £27m star ahead of Fulham game

Manchester United have confirmed a huge injury setback ahead of the Premier League curtain-raiser against Fulham on Friday evening.

The Red Devils had a mixed pre-season campaign and they recently lost the Community Shield to Manchester City in a penalty shoot-out.

The club will kickstart their new league season against the Cottagers at Old Trafford and ahead of the game, they have confirmed a setback.

Shaw was deemed doubtful to face City last weekend and he was subsequently left out of the squad.

United have now disclosed that he picked up a calf injury at the start of pre-season training and he is working hard on his rehabilitation.

The £27 million-rated star plans to make his comeback after the first international break.
