Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on the club’s longest serving player ahead of the Premier League trip to Ipswich Town on Sunday.
The Red Devils restart their campaign against the Tractor Boys at Portman Road. It will be Amorim’s first game in the dug-out, having taken charge during the international break.
Amorim did not provide an extensive team news update yesterday. He confirmed that Luke Shaw is feeling fine, but the club need to build his fitness during games after a long injury lay-off
The Portuguese tactician added that the left-back is a ‘very good’ player. The 39-year-old wants to take care of him so that he can be an important player in the squad for a long period.
He told reports: “Luke [Shaw], for example, is feeling fine, but we have to build his fitness during games, so we have to be careful
“I think he’s a very good player, so I will take care of him and I want these kinds of players that are important in our squad for a long period and not just for a game.”
Meanwhile, the Englishman has not played a competitive game for United this season due to muscular injuries. He sustained a setback during his first pre-season training session.
