The Manchester United has been ruled out for a month with an injury, leaving the club scrambling for options.
On Saturday, although Manchester United might have been able to secure a 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park, Luke Shaw was forced out of the match due to a hamstring injury. And according to reports in the BBC, the English international will not be able to play for another month, which is terrible since he was set to make his long awaited return for the Three Lions.
This has caused major concerns for the Solskjaer, who has blamed the FA for scheduling matches with such frequency. The manager claims that the players had been playing matches without getting proper rest in between. He believes that these injuries are a direct result of the hectic schedule that has been put forward by the FA which has set them up for failure.
With Luke Shaw out of the starting XI, it might be a good opportunity for Alex Telles to claim his position as the permanent left-back for the club.

The Brazilian has played a single match for the Red Devils which was against Paris Saint-Germain before he contracted the virus and was put out of action. He arrived at the club as a deadline day transfer from Porto.
Manchester United will be facing West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and West Ham United in the Premier League next as well as three important Champions League matches that are coming up.
After the International break is over, the Red Devils will be looking at a tight schedule and Solskjaer will have to replace Shaw in the first-team. Alex Telles will no doubt get the opportunity to do that. Now the question is whether the Brazilian will be able to perform to the standards which secured the English international a permanent position in the staring XI.
