Shaw Ready For Manchester United Debut

Luke Shaw is determined to make up for lost time after injury and can’t wait to make his Manchester United debut against West Ham.

The England international was forced to miss the first four matches of the season before sitting on the bench for the recent clashes with QPR and Leicester City. Now back to full fitness, his first-team bow is imminent.

In an exclusive interview with United Review, Shaw says he's "loving it" at United and feeling ready to finally pull on the famous red shirt for the first time in a competitive match.

"The injury got me down a little bit as I've never been injured for so long before," he admitted. "I was a bit annoyed, but I've been back in training now for a couple of weeks."

Shaw's hamstring injury occurred on the eve of United’s pre-season friendly with Valencia and ruled him out for several weeks - a frustrating blow for the 19 year-old. “It was literally in the last training session ahead of the game. I had to stop because I was in too much pain. I'm back up now, raring to go and hoping to stay injury-free and fit for the rest of the season.”

Saturday’s clash with West Ham offers the Reds a chance to bounce back from last Sunday’s shock 5-3 defeat at Leicester, where Shaw could only watch from the bench as his team-mates surrendered two-goal leads.

"We know it [losing a game like that] isn't good enough. We're Manchester United. We cannot go 2-0 and 3-1 up and throw away a lead like that. We've since worked hard in training and hopefully it will pay off.”
