Shaw Suffers Injury During PSV Match

Luke Shaw suffered a double fracture of the leg during the first half of Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League Group B defeat to PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

The England international cut inside from the left in the 15th minute to dribble at the Dutch defence, moving past two players before a tough challenge from Hector Moreno sent him to the ground.

Unfortunately, this was the last moment of Shaw’s match and the 20-year-old was later stretchered off to warm, respectful applause from both sets of supporters at the Philips Stadion.

The severity of the injury was confirmed after the final whistle and it is a particular blow for Shaw following his excellent start to the 2015/16 season, having finished third in our Player of the Month vote for August.

Shaw took to his personal Twitter account to post: "Thank you everyone for your messages, words can't describe how gutted I am, my road to recovery starts now, I will come back stronger."

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Louis van Gaal addressed the injury by saying: "I’m not a doctor so I cannot say, but when you have a double fracture it is four to six months. But you can never say that in advance. He won’t play in the group stage, I don’t think. I hope he will play again this season."
