Manchester, England - In the wake of Luke Shaw’s latest injury setback, Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has promised to give the English defender as much time as he needs to fully recover.
Shaw, 29, admitted this week that he is going through his “toughest period” after confirming another injury, having only just returned to fitness following a nine-month absence from the first team.
Despite the setback, Amorim praised Shaw’s efforts to regain his fitness, stating: “What I can say since I arrived, I see him in the medical department working a lot in the gym. Working a lot on the pitch, we control the load during the games, during the trainings, he was losing weight, so he was doing everything.”
The United boss pledged his full support for Shaw, saying: “No matter how long he will need, I will be with him, we will help him to return, not just Manchester United but your national team needs a guy like Luke Shaw, so we are here to help him.”
Shaw’s latest injury comes as a blow to Amorim, who suffered his first defeat as United manager on Wednesday night in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal. The result saw United lose ground in the hunt for a top-four place, leaving them 11th in the Premier League table with 19 points from 14 matches.
Despite the setback, Amorim remains committed to supporting Shaw through his recovery process, recognizing the importance of the left-back to both Manchester United and the England national team.
