Manchester United have given Erik ten Hag another transfer headache with Alex Telles mistake

Manchester United are going to be without Luke Shaw for a number of crucial fixtures in the race for a top-four spot. Ralf Rangnick confirmed in his press conference on Friday that the full-back is having screws removed from his leg following the operation to fix his leg break back in 2015 and it may take longer to heal than first expected.

Rangnick said: "As it seems, he will be out for another at least four weeks, if not five weeks, so I think for him it will be difficult to be available for one of the remaining seven games." This means that others will have to step up in United's time of need.

The obvious choice to fill in for Shaw is Alex Telles as he has been the main rotation option under Rangnick at left-back, but some fans are questioning whether United should persevere with the Brazilian. These doubts were only further solidified on Saturday with his performance against Norwich.
