Luke Shaw slammed for not 'prioritising Man Utd' by Peter Schmeichel after defender picks up another injury following Euro 2024 campaign with England

Premier League

Southampton

Manchester United

The 29-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-told-terminate-luke-shaw-contract-fans-label-england-left-back-embarrassment-injury-blow/blt30fc44cd3c0fd0aa" target="_blank">finds himself back on the sidelines at the start of the 2024-25 campaign</a>. He did <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luke-please-hamstring-again-man-utd-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe-hilarious-message-shaw-euro-2024-final-celebrities/blt592d944979338966" target="_blank">figure for England at this summer’s European Championship</a>, helping them to another final before coming unstuck against Spain.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Shaw headed into that tournament nursing a knock that had kept him out of action since February. He is unavailable to club boss Erik ten Hag once again, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luke-shaw-injury-man-utd-update-england-star-pre-season-calf/blte5063a4d19a9644b" target="_blank">six months having passed since his last appearance for United</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Red Devils legend Schmeichel has questioned why Shaw gambled on his fitness when linking up with England, telling <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_five_live " target="_blank">BBC Radio 5 Live</a> of seeing the injury-ravaged left-back return to the treatment table: “Luke Shaw last played (for United) in February and yet he still went to the Euros. I think he played a little bit in the quarter final, and then some of the semi-final and then he played the final. Now, he's injured again. He's so important. He's got experience and he's a top class left back. He's a Manchester United player - we pay him. He should be focusing and prioritising Manchester United and not his country.”

WHAT SCHMEICHEL SAID

Shaw sat out over 30 games for United last season and has dealt with a number of fitness problems during his time at Old Trafford – including a broken leg and various muscle complaints. United have drafted in Noussair Mazraoui this summer, meaning that Diogo Dalot could be shifted from right-back to provide cover on the left.
