Luke Shaw is poised to start training next month and could play for Manchester United again this season.

Shaw has targeted a return to training in April and is hopeful of making an appearance for Louis van Gaal before the end of the campaign, as he steps up his recovery from a broken leg.

The England defender suffered a double fracture of his right leg in the Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven in September and it was initially feared that he would not play again this season.

But the 20-year-old is continuing to make good progress in his rehabilitation at Carrington and a first-team return in the final weeks has not been ruled out.
