Luke Shaw’s injury is indeed a significant setback for Manchester United as they approach the start of the Premier League season. With Shaw sidelined until after the first international break and Tyrell Malacia also out, Erik ten Hag faces a challenging situation at left-back.
Harry Amass, though only 17, may find himself thrust into the spotlight as a potential option. However, given his inexperience, ten Hag might prefer to use Lisandro Martinez as a temporary left-back, especially for the season opener against Fulham. Martinez’s versatility could be crucial in providing stability to United’s defense during this period.
United may also look to the transfer market for a short-term solution, or possibly promote another young talent from the academy. The early weeks of the season will test the depth of United’s squad, and how they manage this defensive crisis could have a significant impact on their start to the campaign.
Stay tuned for further updates as Manchester United navigates this challenge.
