The England international has been out of action since August and was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-left-back-luke-shaw-injury-five-weeks/blt6460f5797bb25ada" target="_blank">not expected to return to action until December</a>. With Erik ten Hag short of defensive options, the 28-year-old could be in contention to feature against Everton on Sunday.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Welcome back, <a href="https://twitter.com/LukeShaw23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LukeShaw23</a>! ❤️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MUFC</a>— Manchester United (@ManUtd) <a href="https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1727277311379001808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 22, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

On Wednesday morning, United published an <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/luke-shaw-returns-to-training-as-man-utd-prepare-for-everton-trip?utm_campaign=ManUtd&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank">official statement</a> on their website that read: "Our cameras at Carrington have captured images of the left-back [Shaw] working with the main group, in advance of Sunday's game at Everton."Erik ten Hag is expected to give an update on Shaw during his press conference on Friday.

WHAT MAN UTD SAID

United have endured a difficult start to the season, with injuries certainly playing a part. At various points this season Ten Hag has been without several key players, and at one stage had to deploy midfielder Sofyan Amrabat at left-back to cover for Shaw's absence. United currently find themselves sixth in the Premier League table with 21 points from 12 games.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Shaw's return would certainly ease one of the problems Ten Hag has had in recent weeks. Sunday's trip to Everton is a crucial one, but might come too soon for Shaw to be included in the starting XI.
