Manchester United were dealt a huge blow on Tuesday night, as Luke Shaw broke his leg in two places – all but confirming he will not play again for the club this season. Its a real shame because the 20-year old made a superb straight to the term, and now Van Gaal is tasked with replacing him.

Shaw had an operation in Eindhoven straight after the incident, and stayed in hospital in Holland until Friday. He then flew home to Manchester and went directly to the hospital after getting off the plane.

It shows his willingness and intent to get this injury sorted as soon as possible, and he has to keep remaining positive and looking on the bright side of things, because its going to be a lot of hard work for him to endure before he’ll be back in that Manchester United starting XI.
