Man Utd defender doubtful to face Atletico Madrid

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is a doubt for the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on the road on Tuesday night.

The England international has been a key player for the Mancunian giants and he played almost the entire game against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

Ayden Heaven came on as a late stoppage-time substitute for Shaw at left-back, and he could end up starting against Diego Simeone's side too.

As per reports, Shaw was spotted limping out of Old Trafford, and he could be given a breather. He may not start against Atletico on the road.

With Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui out injured, Heaven would be the next solution for manager Michael Carrick in the left-back slot.

There is an option to play Lisandro Martinez there too, but the Argentine has had his workload concerns and may not be risked in the role.

United are winless in the last four league matches and face another stern challenge against Atletico, who are tough to beat on their home turf.
