Shaw Surgery Completed

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw underwent surgery on his broken leg on Tuesday night and will remain in Eindhoven to continue his early recovery.

The 20-year-old suffered a double fracture of his right leg 15 minutes into United's 2-1 Champions League defeat at PSV Eindhoven following a heavy challenge from Mexico defender Hector Moreno.

United's medical staff attended to the stricken defender for almost 10 minutes on the pitch, giving Shaw oxygen before carefully placing him onto a stretcher.

Shaw was taken straight to the St Anna Ziekenhuis hospital on the outskirts of Eindhoven where he underwent surgery and spent the night recovering.

United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward visited the England international on Wednesday morning ahead of the first-team squad's flight back to Manchester.

United also confirmed in a statement that they were "grateful for the excellent care" given to Shaw, who will fly back home separately from the flight carrying his team-mates.

The flight carrying the rest of the United squad is expected to land at Manchester Airport at 1.55pm.
