According to , Shaw won't be back until at least a month after he hobbled off against the Eagles at Old Trafford.

Shaw could now be set to miss the matches against Southampton, Leicester, West Han, Arsenal, Liverpool and Norwich.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had hoped the England international would be back fit to face the Saints at St Mary's this weekend.

Speaking directly after the clash against Palace, the Norwegian said: "We will do the scans tomorrow, but he felt something in his hamstring.

"Hopefully he won't be too bad and will be back for Southampton."

But scans have since shown the injury is worse than what was first feared.

Ashley Young came on for Shaw against Roy Hodgson's side, and could be the player Solskjaer trusts to fill in for last season's United Player of the Year.
