Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has given a positive injury update as he continues his recovery from a broken leg.

Shaw says his legs feel 'really good' just three months on from suffering a double fracture of the right leg, after a robust challenge from Hector Moreno in United's Champions League group stage defeat at PSV Eindhoven.

"Heading back home to London for Christmas! Legs feeling really good! hope everyone has a good Christmas," Shaw wrote on Twitter.

The 20-year-old, who enjoyed a superb start to the campaign before his injury in the Netherlands, is not expected to return to first-team football until March at the earliest.

Louis van Gaal gave Shaw time off around the return leg with PSV last month and admitted the England international was 'fed up' with the rehabilitation process.

"Now he is a little bit fed up with the daily routine so I give him four days off," Van Gaal said.

"I thought, why he is fed up? Maybe it is because of the match of PSV and that every player has to watch the game from the stadium to support their colleagues."
