Shaw will have to sit out United’s Premier League fixtures at home to Fulham and Liverpool, as well as the trip to Brighton.

The 29-year-old could also be a doubt for England’s Nations League matches next month against the Republic of Ireland and Finland – the first fixtures under new interim boss Lee Carsley.

United said: “Luke Shaw will miss the opening games of the Premier League season due to a calf injury sustained at the start of pre-season training.

“He is working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to being available after the first international break.”

Shaw travelled to Euro 2024 with England despite carrying a hamstring injury and was unable to play until the quarter-final against Switzerland.

He started the final as England slipped to a 2-1 defeat by Spain in Berlin.
