Report: Luke Shaw targets return for Manchester United against Liverpool

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is targeting a return to action away to Liverpool a week on Sunday, according to the Daily Mail. He has missed the team’s last seven matches in all competitions.

Shaw has been out since United’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham in October. Manager Michael Carrick said last week that the player would not be ready during that week.

Shaw and Patrick Dorgu have both been absent through injury from the left side of United’s defence. Dorgu returned as a substitute in the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, contributing to his team’s two goals in stoppage time: he set up Joshua Zirkzee’s goal before heading in the fourth.
