The 28-year-old, who has been at United for a decade, mentioned he was upset when followers questioned his dedication to the membership following his choice for the England squad after taking part in simply 15 video games for United final season.
“If the supervisor asks me to play, I am by no means going to say ‘no.’ However I should not have performed [at Luton],” Shaw mentioned. “It is type of everybody’s fault. Partly my fault, partly the [United] medical workers.
“I got here again too rapidly and I really ended up getting one other damage in my hamstring … I did push to do every thing I can to be match for United.”
Requested if he’ll play towards Serbia in Group C on June 16, Shaw mentioned: “That is not likely all the way down to me. We simply go daily, see how I am feeling in coaching.
“I might like to make the primary recreation, however I do not wish to rush too rapidly as a result of realistically I’ve solely acquired one likelihood. If I really feel one thing, then that is it. I do not need that to occur.”
Shaw added that England’s 1-0 loss towards Iceland of their final Euros warm-up recreation on Friday may probably be a blessing for the workforce in disguise. “This might have been the very best factor to occur to us,” he mentioned.
“It made us realise that going to Germany isn’t going to be a simple trip. It will want a whole lot of dedication from the workforce to do this.”
