Manager Erik Ten Hag has confirmed that left-back Luke Shaw will miss Manchester United’s League Cup clash with Barnsley on Wednesday due to injury. Shaw was first anticipated to return following the international break, but he has been dealing with a calf ailment since the preseason. Ten Hag, however, was unable to provide a specific return date because Shaw’s recuperation is dependent on a number of variables.
Ten Hag stated at a news conference that “Luke Shaw is making progress, but he won’t be ready for selection in this match.” “His return is planned, but it will depend on how well he recovers. Numerous things could influence his chronology.

Positively, Ten Hag declared that Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and full-back Noussair Mazraoui will be fit for the League Cup match. During United’s 3-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, all three players were substituted; however, they have since recovered and are ready for selection.
Manuel Ugarte, who earned his debut last week, is still questionable for the forthcoming match. Ten Hag stated that confirmation of Ugarte’s participation will come closer to the game.
