Luke Shaw could miss the rest of the season having undergone an operation that would be a major blow to Manchester United's slim top four hopes, according to reports.
The Red Devils lost more ground at the weekend with defeat against Everton and losing their England left-back would further their task. Shaw went under the knife last week to remove metal screws in his leg. His rehab is now expected to take longer than was initially planned which could rule him out for the campaign following an assessment, reports the Telegraph.
It would leave Alex Telles as United's only recognised left-back with seven games of the season still to go. Shaw has not been in sensational form this term but has still been a regular at Old Trafford. The 26-year-old's operation was to remove screws in the leg break he suffered back in September 2015.
