Erik ten Hag explains Luke Shaw decision for Brighton vs Manchester United

Erik ten Hag has 'no concerns' about playing Luke Shaw at centre-back for Manchester United's match against Brighton in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

After crashing out of the Europa League against Sevilla earlier in the week, Ten Hag urged his players to respond in his pre-Brighton press conference, but he's been forced to pick a makeshift backline for the game due to injuries and a suspension.

Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are currently sidelined with injuries and Harry Maguire is suspended for the semi-final clash, which means Victor Lindelof and Shaw are set to start in central defence at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
