Shaw misses trip to Watford as Hornets line-up unchanged

1,474 Comments

Luke Shaw (£5.1m) missed out on a place in the Manchester United squad to face Watford in Gameweek 5.

The left-back has reportedly recovered from the concussion he suffered playing for England last week but manager Jose Mourinho has refused to take any risks with him.

Former Hornet Ashley Young (£5.8m) takes his place in the United back-line alongside Chris Smalling (£5.8m), Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) and Antonio Valencia (£6.5m).

Watford are unchanged from the side that beat Spurs in Gameweek 4.

There will be plenty of attention around Jose Holebas (£4.8m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) who have both made excellent starts to the season.

WATFORD XI: Foster; Holebas, Kabasele, Cathcart, Janmaat; Pereyra, Capoue, Doucouré, Hughes; Deeney, Gray

MAN UNITED XI: De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Young, Matic, Fellaini, Pogba, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku.
