Luke Shaw suffers injury setback during Manchester Uniteds win against Newcastle

Manchester United star Luke Shaw could miss Englands double header against Croatia and Spain after taking a knock in the clubs 3-2 win against Newcastle on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez struck in injury time to complete a valuable comeback for the Red Devils, who were 2-0 down within ten minutes at Old Trafford against the Magpies.

The result is likely to safeguard Jose Mourinhos immediate future at the club but United face a difficult run of fixtures after the international break, including visits to Chelsea, Juventus and Manchester City.

However, Shaw was complaining about an injury issue after the game and he could withdraw from Englands squad for the upcoming Nations League matches.

Should Shaw withdraw from the Three Lions squad, team-mate Ashley Young could be recalled after losing his spot following the World Cup in Russia.
