The Red Devils have had a rough start to the new season. They only won 3 points after the first 2 matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.

Ten Hag wants his players to have a strong reaction when they host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford this week. However, Man Utd does not have the best force.

Luke Shaw recently suffered a muscle injury and when asked about the England international’s condition, the former Ajax coach admitted the left-back’s recovery process could take longer than Mason Mount .

 Man Utd has many injuries.

Specifically, Ten Hag said: “We cannot know when Shaw will return. It is a personal matter and they will be absent for a while. But Shaw will take longer than Mount.”

Mount faces a break until early October , thereby missing up to six games. Now Shaw may have to sit out more than that.

Know that Tyrell Malacia is not ready. Coach Ten Hag confirmed: “It will also take a few weeks before Malacia returns. Surely we have a solution to deal with that for the left-back position.

We were thinking pre-season about this scenario, it could happen. If that happens then you have to be ready.”

Thus, Man Utd will not have both Shaw and Malacia in the next matches.
