Luke Shaw is uncertain to play for Manchester United in their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City this Sunday. Shaw was substituted late in United's 2-2 draw against Everton last Sunday and then did not feature in their 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah FK on Wednesday. During his absence, Patrick Dorgu took on the role of left-back. Michael Carrick, United's assistant manager, mentioned that Shaw has not been fully fit this week, adding that his availability for the match against City will depend on how he recovers. Carrick was asked directly about Shaw's chances of playing against Manchester City and replied, "We'll have to see." The assistant manager also addressed the decision to keep Bruno Fernandes on the field during the second half of the Champions League match against Sabah. Despite appearing to limp after the game, Fernandes played the full match, and Carrick explained that the team only had five substitutions available. "We had to make certain decisions on what that looked like," he said, acknowledging the challenge of managing player workloads. Fernandes, who is United's captain, has been playing a significant amount of football recently, and Carrick noted that the squad is being built to handle such demands. However, he admitted that the situation against Sabah was a one-off where difficult choices had to be made. Carrick emphasized that the team is working to develop strategies to manage player fitness and workload effectively. The upcoming match against Manchester City will be crucial for United, especially with uncertainty around key players like Shaw. Carrick's comments highlight the ongoing challenges of balancing player fitness with the demands of a packed schedule, including both domestic and European competitions. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for United's position in the Premier League and their Champions League campaign.
