LUKE SHAW has offered fans an injury update and hit out at those who have questioned his loyalty to Manchester United.
The defender has been on the treatment table since suffering his latest injury setback against Luton in February.
Earlier in the season Shaw had missed several weeks of action because of a muscle injury, and he made just 12 Premier League appearances this season.
He has still been called up to England’s preliminary Euro 2024 squad, but had to watch United’s FA Cup success from the Wembley stands.
Shaw revealed his loyalty to his club has been questioned over the last few weeks as he provided an update on his wellbeing.
He wrote in a statement on Instagram: “Happy for the boys to lift the trophy at the weekend and finish this season on a positive. As much as it was the result I wanted it was hard to watch from the stands.

“This has definitely been the most frustrating season for me, I have had set back after set back and have worked so hard to get back to fitness but things just haven’t gone my way. I pushed so hard to get back before the end of the season and the final but some things just aren’t meant to be.
“There’s nothing I want to do more than play and win with Manchester United.
“I don’t normally react to things I see on social media but there’s a lot of people questioning my loyalty to this club and asking how I am fit for England but not United.
“The reality is I am not 100 per cent fit for either right now but I am doing everything I can and constantly working to be. I have been at this club for 10 years through highs and lows and for anyone to question my loyalty is obviously frustrating.
