Man Utd fullback Shaw puts injury troubles behind him ahead of new season

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw insists he is feeling fit ahead of the 2020/21 season.

The 23-year-old missed a total of 17 games last term due to injury.

But speaking after he played in Saturday's friendly loss with Aston Villa, Shaw said he was fit and ready to go.

On the subject of his own fitness, Luke reported: "I feel really good. I worked really hard over the short time everyone had off and I'm ready to go.

'"We've trained hard and this game was really about minutes and getting ready for next week. We had a lot of players out and a lot of young players, who hadn't been training with us. They just came with us today and played well when they got the chance.

"Hopefully, the [absent players] will all get back for [training on] Monday. We're working hard. We will be ready next week."
