Manchester United are poised to be without Luke Shaw for the first three Premier League games.

United acknowledged Shaw's calf injury in a statement on Tuesday night.

The left-back sustained the injury during training.

Shaw has not played for United since February, but helped England reach the Euro 2024 final.

The 29-year-old hopes to return after the first international break of the season in September.

"Luke Shaw will miss the opening games of the Premier League season due to a calf injury sustained at the start of pre-season training," according to the club's statement.

"He is working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to being available after the first international break."
