“Sell him!” — Manchester United fans turn on their star player
Manchester United don’t seem to be catching a break, especially with the Premier League opener against Fulham fast approaching.
According to a new report, the club finds itself without one of its key players, Luke Shaw. The left-back, who played a crucial role for England in the Euro 2024 final, is sidelined once again due to a calf injury, adding to a growing list of fitness issues that have plagued his career.
Manchester United fans, who have long supported Shaw despite his injury struggles, are beginning to voice concerns over his future at the club. With the announcement of his latest setback, some are calling for the club to consider life without the 28-year-old defender.

Shaw’s latest injury has sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans split between loyalty and practicality. While many acknowledge his undeniable talent, there’s a growing sentiment that his persistent fitness issues could force United to make tough decisions.
“This could be Shaw’s last season at United,” one fan speculated, echoing a sentiment shared by others who believe it’s time to move on.
Another fan lamented, “Shaw is arguably our best player after Bruno Fernandes, but that only matters if he’s fit.”
For a player who has battled back from severe injuries, including a near-career-ending leg break, Shaw’s resilience is unquestionable. But as one fan bluntly put it:
“It’s a miracle he’s even walking, let alone playing football. But maybe it’s time we start planning for life without him.”
With Shaw out until at least September, the question remains: can Manchester United afford to rely on a player who, despite his immense talent, struggles to stay on the pitch?
