Man United boss Ruben Amorim has played down concerns about Luke Shaw’s fitness after he was substituted during the 4-2 win over Brighton at the weekend.

The 30-year-old was replaced just after the hour mark, with Ayden Heaven coming on for the final 25 minutes. However, speaking about Shaw in his post-match press conference, Amorim said the defender was simply suffering with an illness:

“Luke Shaw is fine. He had a virus during the week. He struggled a little bit in the game, but he’s going to be ready for the next one.”

Amorim’s remarks confirm that Shaw won’t be ruled out for any upcoming fixtures.
