On Friday, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag provided an update on the left-back situation at the club expressing frustration over the ongoing injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw. Ten Hag revealed that it would be challenging for Malacia to be available this season due to setbacks in his recovery process.

He also mentioned that Shaw might not return until the last games of the season. The left-back issues have been a significant concern for Ten Hag who hinted at frustration with the medical staff. Malacia prolonged absence is attributed to setbacks in his knee surgery recovery.

The 24 years old may end the season without making an appearance raising questions about his future at the club. The left-back concerns highlight the need for a reliable option especially given Shaw injury-prone history. The situation adds urgency to potential reinforcements in the left-back position for Manchester United.
