Set up to fail? Man Utd lose Shaw for one month with hamstring injury

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw has been ruled out for a month after injuring his hamstring.

The left-back was replaced by Axel Tuanzebe in the 67th minute in Saturday's 3-1 win over Everton.

United travelled to Goodison Park less than 72 hours after arriving back from Turkey for a Champions League loss to Istanbul Basaksehir.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer accused authorities of 'setting United up to fail' with the quick turnaround in games.

And now the Norwegian has lost Shaw for at least a month.

The England international will miss upcoming Premier League games against West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and West Ham, as well as as Champions League clashes with Istanbul Basaksehir, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig.
