Manchester United star missing Euro Under-21 championship is massive blow

The list includes the likes of Premier League Young Player of the Year winner Harry Kane, West Bromwich Albion star Saido Berahino and Burnley striker Danny Ings. One of the key players missing in the list is Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw.

The Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal has already confirmed his desire in not letting his defender take part in the summer competition.

“When you are not playing for Man Utd you cannot play for other teams. He needs the rest. He is 19. We have to protect him. I hope that the coach of the Under-21s understands that,” Van Gaal explained.
