Some early team news for Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League opener, in the group stages at Swiss side Young Boys, emerged from Jose Mourinho’s post Watford press conference (the video of which is below).
Left back Luke Shaw, who suffered a concussion while on international duty with England and missed the win at Watford, will be back in action and he’s in line to start.
United have also revealed their squad that is traveling to Switzerland for the clash. We’ll have more on this, following Mourinho’s official UCL news conference. In the mean time, this is great for Luke Shaw, especially when you consider all that he’s been through during his very tumultuous time at Old Trafford.
