Manchester United currently sit just four points outside of the Champions League places in the Premier League following an unbeaten start to Ruben Amorim’s reign.

The Red Devils picked up a resounding 4-0 victory over Everton in Ruben Amorim’s first Premier League home match.

Man United head to the Emirates next to face Arsenal, knowing that victory would put them within touching distance of the Gunners in second place.

However, pre-match plans have been thrown into jeopardy following a social media post from left-back Luke Shaw, who appears to have confirmed yet another injury setback.

Luke Shaw posts emotional injury update on Instagram story

Posting on his Instagram story, Shaw has revealed his hurt and struggles following his latest injury setback.

Shaw posted, “Hi guys, it’s hurting a lot having to write this as I really thought I had got through my recent struggles and was on a positive path going forward, but unfortunately I’ve had a small setback.”

The England left back then goes on to explain, “I understand there is gunna be people frustrated, angry, disappointed and I understand all that. There is no one feeling that more than me at this moment in time.”

“But what I can promise is I will do everything I can to come back better soon to help this club achieve its ambitions this season.”

Shaw, rated highly by Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, is a player that many had picked to flourish under new boss Amorim’s guidance and tactics.

How Luke Shaw’s injury could affect Ruben Amorim’s Man United plans

Thus far in his short reign, Amorim has mixed up his line up in order to find the best formula for his tactics.

Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot have been used in the left wing-back position and Alan Shearer believes Amad Diallo has been ‘brilliant’ on the right-hand flank.

Luke Shaw was no doubt Amorim’s number one choice to be played in the wide role when he arrived but with the full-back’s wretched injury record, the Portuguese manager may now have to look at alternative solutions.

One potential solution that has been proposed is that Amorim may have to dip into the January transfer window- David Raum is seen as the perfect left wing-back Man United for the 3-4-3 formation.
