Manchester United left back Luke Shaw will be sidelined for a month after picking up a hamstring injury in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Everton, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

Luke Shaw's absence will pave the way for new recruit Alex Telles to make his Premier League bow

Shaw, 25, limped off during the closing stages of the match and was replaced by Axel Tuanzebe.

The England defender is expected to miss the upcoming Premier League games against West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and West Ham United as well as Champions League clashes with Istanbul Basaksehir, Paris St Germain and RB Leipzig.
