Luke Shaw is set for a fitness test on his left foot ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Tottenham.

Despite being linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the summer, Shaw, 23, has started both of United’s opening matches in the Premier League at left-back.

Shaw scored what turned out to be the winner in a 2-1 victory over Leicester but had a tougher time as the Red Devils were defeated 3-2 to Brighton at Falmer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Englishman picked up knocks either side of the break and managed to play on for the full 90 minutes on the south coast.




However, according to ESPN, Shaw will be assessed this week as United prepare for their encounter with Spurs on Monday evening.

Alexis Sanchez is also in a race to be fit for the game after sustaining a minor injury in training.

The 29-year-old forward missed out on United’s defeat to Brighton but Jose Mourinho is hopeful he will be available to face Tottenham.

‘I don’t know really. Let’s wait for the results of the studies, Mourinho said after the Brighton match.

‘But I don’t think it’s a big thing. I think it will be one or two weeks maximum.’

Mourinho will have Nemanja Matic and Antonio Valencia at his disposal once again after the duo returned to training this week.
