Manchester United left-back played on at Euros with injury
Shaw optimistic he will be fit to face Leeds on 14 August

Luke Shaw is hopeful of recovering from broken ribs in time for Manchester United’s opening Premier League match against Leeds.

The left-back suffered the injury during England’s Euro 2020 campaign but played on as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the final against Italy, in which Shaw scored the opening goal before Robert Mancini’s side won a penalty shootout. Shaw also made three assists at Euro 2020 in an overall display that made him one of its standout performers.
