Speaking about taking Luke Shaw off at half-time vs Aston Villa, Erik ten Hag told Sky Sports: "It was a precaution.
"He had some complaints and we can't take any risks with him because he's had any injuries in the past. We'll have to see how it goes in the next few days.
"Everyone knows my philosophy to have left-footers at left centre-back and left-back. We have to make compromises and it is not to our advantage.
"With Luke, we know his history with too many injuries and we couldn't go into that risk. A very important game but we can't miss him for six weeks."
Shaw was taken off with an injury at half-time during the 2–1 win away at Aston Villa on Sunday after feeling some discomfort in the first half of the game.
Victor Lindelof remains Manchester United's only potential replacement at left-back with Tyrell Malacia still sidelined and Sergio Reguilon's loan terminated.
