Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says that the club "are positive" Luke Shaw will be available for Sunday's Premier League clash with Luton Town.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has said that the club "are positive" Luke Shaw will be available for Sunday's Premier League clash with Luton Town.

The England international was replaced at the interval of last weekend's 2-1 win over Aston Villa, with the substitution a precaution due to some pain that the defender was experiencing.

Shaw has been restricted to just 14 appearances this season due to injuries, and there had been fears after the Villa match that he could now be facing another spell out of action.

However, Ten Hag has said that the 28-year-old has a chance of being in the squad for Sunday's game at Luton, with Man United seeking to make it five straight wins in all competitions.

"Luke is doubtful for the weekend but we are positive he can make it. He came out as a precaution, it was the right direction. We work until Sunday," Ten Hag told reporters during Thursday's press conference.

Ten Hag was also asked about the injury recoveries of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia, and the Dutchman admitted that the trio are still facing "weeks" out.

"Aaron Wan-Bissaka will take some weeks because he picked up another injury in training last week. Mason and Tyrell will take some more weeks," he added.

"He had setbacks during his rehab process, it takes too long, it's bad for him, bad for us. But now we turned a point and it's positive and he will return soon on the pitch. It won't take long before he's returning in team training."

Man United are also without Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Martial with long-term injuries, and the duo are likely to be unavailable for selection until the start of April.

Ten Hag was also asked about the challenge of playing at Luton's Kenilworth Road stadium during his pre-match press conference.

"Is the pitch smaller or longer? Is it 11 vs 11, no referees are coming? Every ambience is different, which is what I wanted to say. We have to deal with the circumstances and it's about playing football," he said.

"We have to make it our game and it doesn't matter who you face. We respect every opponent, we are not in a position to underestimate any opponent. I have a lot of respect for this team and we have to play our best football."

Luton have picked up 11 points from their 12 home Premier League matches this season, while Man United have collected 19 points from their 12 games on their travels.

The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League table, five points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa, while Luton are 17th, one point ahead of 18th-placed Everton in the battle for survival.
