Man Utd in double full-back blow as Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s likely return dates are revealed
ERIK TEN HAG’S injury nightmare could be getting even worse as Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are reportedly set for lengthy spells on the sidelines.
Manchester United have been hit with an injury crisis which saw them without 12 senior players for their 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich last night.
It wasn’t the Champions League opener that the Red Devils were hoping for with their squad spread so thin that ten Hag was forced to name THREE goalkeepers on the bench.
Amongst those injured are Shaw and Wan-Bissaka who have both been forced out of action in recent weeks.
Shaw hasn’t featured for Man United since their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham in the second game of the season.
And according to ESPN, the England international could remain on the treatment table until at least the November international break.
Whilst Wan-Bissaka’s hamstring injury that he picked up against Brighton could also be worse than initially feared.
United have stated the former Crystal Palace man will be away from the pitch for “several weeks”, but ESPN have revealed that it could be more than two months until he lines back up for the Manchester giants.
It’s not all doom and gloom for ten Hag and Co with reports suggesting they could have a squad boost before their clash with Burnley this weekend.
The club are said to be hopeful that Mason Mount and Raphael Varane will be able to get some minutes in the Premier League bout.

Both have returned to training after missing out on the trip to the Allianz.
United will be hoping they can bounce back from a terrible run of form this weekend when they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley.
They have lost each of their last three games in all competitions and currently sit in 13th place in the Premier League table .
