Man Utd fans demand player to be sold after latest club announcement causes social media meltdown

Manchester United fans have called for one player to be allowed to leave the club after an announcement on social media.

United play their opening Premier League fixture of the season on Friday when they host Fulham at Old Trafford.

But they will do so without left-back Luke Shaw, who was not deemed fit enough to take on Manchester City in the Community Shield last weekend.

United have announced that Shaw has in fact picked up a calf injury which will rule him out until at least the next international break in September.

A club statement reads: “Luke Shaw will miss the opening games of the Premier League season due to a calf injury sustained at the start of pre-season training.

And fourth stated: “Luke Shaw damn near had his leg amputated. Definitely time to move on – it’s a shame he can’t stay fit. It’s a miracle he’s even walking, let alone playing football.”

United are set to confirm the signing of full-back Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, who can play on both sides.

But after the departure of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham, the Morocco international will also compete with Diogo Dalot on the right flank.

Behind Shaw, Tyrell Malacia remains unavailable as he works his way back to full fitness, leaving 17-year-old Harry Amass as the only other natural left-back.
