Luke Shaw "hoping to be fit" for Arsenal trip

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is hopeful that he will be fit enough to feature in his side's trip to face Arsenal this weekend, having picked up a knock on international duty.

The 19-year-old was replaced after 66 minutes of the Three Lions' 3-1 victory over Scotland at Celtic Park last night.

Shaw revealed after the game that he sustained an injury to his hamstring in the first half, but was keen to remain on the field until eventually being withdrawn by manager Roy Hodgson.

"I picked up a few knocks during the game and my left hamstring, which I hurt at the start of the season, I could feel a little bit," he told Sky Sports News.

"We had a discussion at half time over whether to bring me off then but it was a game I didn't want to come off in so I played the extra 15 minutes and then Roy decided to sub me off."

Asked whether he will be fit for the Premier League clash against Arsenal, Shaw added: "We will just have to see but I am hoping to be fit."

There is also a big question mark over the fitness of fellow United summer signing Angel di Maria, who took a blow to his ankle in Argentina's 1-0 defeat against Portugal last night.
