Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, has vowed to give Luke Shaw all the time he needs to regain full fitness after the player faced another injury setback.

Shaw, who had recently returned from a nine-month absence, had been making progress under Amorim but now finds himself sidelined once more.

The 29-year-old left-back admitted that he is going through his “toughest period” after confirming the latest injury, which has left him devastated.

Shaw’s Determination and Commitment

Shaw had been gradually working his way back into the first team, having come off the bench in Amorim’s first three matches in charge.

However, with this new injury, his return to full fitness might take longer than expected.

Despite the setback, Amorim is determined to support Shaw in his recovery, offering him as much time as necessary to get back to his best.

The United manager praised Shaw for his dedication, noting the hard work the left-back had been putting in at the gym and on the pitch.

Amorim emphasized that Shaw’s commitment to his fitness was evident, from controlling his load during games and training to losing weight.

He expressed his confidence in Shaw’s potential, saying, “If he continues to do that behavior, he’s a top, top player, and we need him.”

Shaw’s Emotional Statement

On Tuesday, Shaw took to social media to share his frustration and sadness over the injury.

He expressed how difficult it was to face another setback after believing he had overcome his struggles.

“It’s hurting a lot having to write this,” Shaw wrote.

“This has definitely been my toughest period. I’m absolutely devastated, and it’s extremely tough to come to terms with reality.”

Despite his disappointment, Shaw promised to do everything he could to return stronger and help the team achieve its goals this season.

He also thanked fans for their continued support, acknowledging that it didn’t go unnoticed.

Amorim Focuses on Long-Term Recovery

Although Amorim refrained from giving a specific timeline for Shaw’s return to action, he made it clear that the club would support the player throughout his recovery process.

Amorim’s focus is on ensuring Shaw fully recovers before rejoining the first team.

The manager highlighted Shaw’s importance not only to Manchester United but also to the national team, stressing the need for players like him in both contexts.

Manchester United’s Recent Struggles

Amorim is still adjusting to his new role at United, and his first defeat as manager came in a disappointing 2-0 loss to Arsenal.

The defeat leaves the team in 11th place in the Premier League standings, further behind the race for a top-four spot.

With only 19 points from 14 matches, the Red Devils are in need of a strong recovery as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford this Saturday.

After that, they will head to Czechia for a Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen.
