The 29-year-old’s last club start came on February 18 due to his unrelenting injury setbacks, and unless he returns to full fitness in the coming weeks, he could well go a full year without being named in a United starting XI.
Amorim was able to utilise Shaw three times after he took the reins in November, all of which were through half-hour cameos off the bench to manage his minutes. Then, after a 4-0 win over Everton at the beginning of December, it was confirmed that he would oversee another spell on the sidelines. It remains to be seen when he’ll be available for selection again.
As such, the board are seemingly resigned to the fact that Shaw must be replaced – despite him being contracted to the club until June 2027.
