Louis van Gaal has revealed Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is now walking with a brace as he continues his rehabilitation from a broken leg, the Manchester Evening News report .

Shaw, who suffered a double break in United's Champions League defeat at PSV Eindhoven last month, is not expected to be available until March at the earliest.

The 20-year-old has been pictured on crutches in Manchester city centre and returned to Carrington two weeks ago to receive further treatment, and Van Gaal heralded the left-back's attitude as 'fantastic'.

"He is already here every day, walking with a brace and starting his rehabilitation. It is unbelievable," said Van Gaal.

"But he has a long way to go. At the moment, the progress is steep, but at the end it will be flat and that is difficult to maintain your mentality. But now he is fantastic."

Shaw, arguably United's player of the season before his traumatic night in Eindhoven, could also be available for England's Euro 2016 squad if his recovery goes smoothly.

Van Gaal, though, cautioned against premature predictions merely a month on from Shaw's break.

"You can not say that now he can go," Van Gaal added. "Like Roy Hodgson says 50-50 because it is possible, but it is dependent on the rehabilitation.

"Maybe there are complications, you never know, that happens a lot so we have to wait and see."
