**Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick revealed the latest on Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire ahead of the Newcastle clash.**
The in-form Reds are beaming with confidence, having won six out of seven matches following the appointment of the 44-year-old tactician.
On Sunday, Man Utd secured a come-from-behind victory over Crystal Palace thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ spot-kick and Benjamin Sesko’s towering header.
However, that result entailed a couple of casualties, as Shaw was forced to leave the pitch in the first half after picking up a knock, leaving his place for Noussair Mazraoui, while Maguire was replaced with Ayden Heaven late in the match.
Ahead of Wednesday’s contest against Newcastle, Carrick held his pre-match press conference on Tuesday afternoon, and the first question posed was about Shaw and Maguire’s conditions.
The 44-year-old provided some reassuring updates, revealing that neither player suffered an injury, but their availability for the midweek fixture remains uncertain.
_“Still got a bit of time to the game, and we’ll just have to see how they feel,”_ explained Carrick in his presser (via the [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/michael-carrick-press-conference-live-33519712)). _“So we’ll give them every chance. We’re working towards it._
_“They weren’t feeling too good, we’ve still got a bit of time for the game, so we’ll see how they feel. It wasn’t injury, both weren’t feeling too good, so it’s one of those things really. We’ll see how they are.”_
