Shaw and Maguire fitness update after weekend winSunday 01 March 2026 17:31Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has revealed Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire were feeling unwell during the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.The two England internationals were forced off as the Reds made it 11 games unbeaten by coming from behind to defeat the Eagles. Shaw appeared to take heavy knock from Daniel Munoz but played on until the 24th minute, when he was unable to continue, despite receiving treatment on the pitch. Our no.23 made his way straight down the tunnel, receiving warm applause from the home fans.Harry Maguire was feeling unwell in the closing stages.Noussair Mazraoui slotted in effectively at left-back but there were obvious fears Shaw had collected an injury that would jeopardise maintaining his fine run of starting every Premier League game this term. Maguire, meanwhile, had a tough battle up against Jorgen Strand Larsen and also had to make way, in the 88th minute, when Ayden Heaven was introduced to help see us over the line against the 10 men.Speaking to BBC after the game, boss Carrick stated that it was illness affecting the two defenders, rather than injury. “They just weren’t feeling too well, so, hopefully, they will be feeling better soon,” he said. Our next assignment comes around quickly, with Wednesday night’s test at Newcastle United, kicking off at 20:15 GMT. Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt were unavailable for the victory against Palace.Sunday 01 March 2026 17:31Back to Top
