Man Utd fullback Shaw: Injury not serious

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw says injury suffered during victory over Everton is not serious.

Shaw will report for Under-21 action even though he hobbled off in the second half of United's victory on Sunday.

The 19-year-old, who has three senior caps, received a kick to the knee during the match at Old Trafford, but he feels fit enough to join up with the Young Lions.

Shaw said: "It's not a bad injury - it's a dead leg on my knee.

"I felt it in the first 20 minutes when I got caught, but it carried on during the game so I thought it was probably best to come off before it gets any worse.

"I spoke with the doctor and obviously the manager as well, and both feel it's best that I do go [with England Under-21s] as it's not an injury that is going to keep me out.

"Hopefully, I should be training in the next couple of days and can get another two games of 90 minutes."
