Louis van Gaal has singled out Luke Shaw as Manchester United’s biggest loss during their injury-hit Premier League season.
Furthermore, the Dutchman also added that he’s more attack-minded than current left-back Marcos Rojo.
United have suffered greatly at the hands of injury all over the pitch this season, but most notably in defence, with the Dutchman being forced to pick a number of makeshift combinations at the back.
However, Van Gaal has singled out the absence of England left-back Shaw as particularly crucial, due to his replacement’s inability to provide the same attacking threat.
Van Gaal is quoted by the Manchester Evening News as saying: “When everybody was fit, I tell it again, I have said it before. We were first in the league at that time. Then when we had 14 injuries, or the double injuries on the full back positions, I could not solve that problem.
“Schweinsteiger and Shaw are the only ones who are injured now. Schweinsteiger, I have three midfielders in that position with Schweinsteiger, Carrick and Schneiderlin.
“Shaw, it’s still a problem, is more attacking as a full back than Marcos Rojo,” he concluded.
