Man Utd boss Solskjaer explains early Shaw substitution

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained Luke Shaw's substitution during victory over Leeds United.

Shaw made way for Alex Telles around the hour-mark and headed straight for the dressing room.

It would appear that both Shaw and Scott McTominay could miss the midweek Carabao Cup quarter-final at Everton, as the Reds look to knock out the in-form Toffees in front of 2,000 of their own fans at Goodison Park on Wednesday.

When asked if they were doubts, he replied: “Yeah, I would think so. Luke has been ill for a few days and was only passed fit this morning. He didn't train yesterday.

“Scott, it seemed like a groin issue. I don't know. Hopefully, it won't be too long as he's not had any muscle injuries before. But I don't know how quickly he will recover."
