Luke Shaw suffered a horrific double fracture of his right leg in Manchester United's Champions League loss at PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

Shaw will be out at least six months.

The injury was caused by a reckless tackle from Héctor Moreno in the 15th minute.

Shaw had nine minutes of treatment on the field and needed oxygen before being taken to the hospital.

Louis Van Gaal said: “He has a double leg fracture and is in hospital. He will be transferred tomorrow or maybe a day later and then operated on in Manchester. It is awful – a boy who comes to Manchester United at 18, has it very difficult and then plays fantastically and then this happens. When it was in the dressing room he had an oxygen mask on. He was crying.

“I am not a doctor but when you have a double fracture it is six months and he will not play in the group phase. I hope he can play again this season.”
