Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer identifies Luke Shaw concern for Club Brugge

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified a concern for Luke Shaw in the Club Brugge team.

The Red Devils take on the Belgian side in their Europa League round-of-32 second leg.

Solskjaer’s side drew the first leg 1-1 but got back to winning ways with a 3-0 crushing of Watford.

And one man who had a big part to play was Shaw, who has played all 90 minutes for the last four games in a United shirt.

But the boss has revealed a concern about the Englishman at Old Trafford in Europe.

Speaking in the pre-match press conference, Solskjaer said: “We need to play against 11 players, so it might change.

Shaw, though, is feeling confident about coming up against the Brugge goal-scorer.
