Manchester United hope Luke Shaw will be fit to face Luton after he was taken off at half-time against Aston Villa last weekend.

Erik ten Hag said Shaw’s withdrawal at Villa Park was precautionary, given his injury record this season.

“We are positive he can make it,” said Ten Hag on Friday. “So, he fell out [of the game], it was a precaution [to substitute him] and I think it was the right decision, especially when you, afterwards, win the game. “But we are working to Sunday.”

If Shaw is fit, United could name an unchanged team from the side which beat Villa 2-1.

Scott McTominay scored the late winner in that game but faces a tough task to dislodge the central midfield pairing of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, who have started the last four games together since Casemiro returned from injury.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury and United continue to be without Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia.

Ten Hag said: “Aaron Wan-Bissaka will take some weeks because he picked up another injury in the training. Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia will take some more weeks.”

Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund

Doubts: Shaw

Injuries: Martinez, Wan-Bissaka, Malacia, Mount, Martial

Time and date: 4.30pm, Sunday February 18, 2024
