Luke Shaw opens up about fateful major injury at Manchester United

by Marwan Harraz

Manchester United star Luke Shaw has discussed the dramatic effects of the major injury he suffered in his career, revealing the pain he felt.

The talented full-back was initially signed from Southampton as a teenager with the plan being he would be the best in his position in the league after a few years of development.

Shaw initially seemed to be on track for that plan with many anticipating he would be a club legend, expecting he would be at Old Trafford for a decade at least.

The then young Englishman appeared to be Patrice Evra’s heir until he suffered a horrible injury that took a long time mentally to get over.

Shaw recovered at the expected rate physically but the injury damaged his confidence and it affected his development deeply.


Shaw started this season pretty averagely which allowed room for Brandon Williams to make an unexpected breakthrough with Ashley Young even leaving to Inter Milan in January.

However, the former Southampton man has grown more the season went on and it feels as though he’s gained a maturity that was previously missing.

Shaw’s performances got better even though he was occasionally used as a left centre-back in a three-man defence.

Rash is back! As United prepare to restart their season and do battle on three fronts, top scorer Marcus Rashford is fit and back to take his place in the side. But how much do you know about the United star? Take our quiz below to test yourself.
