Luke Shaw sustains serious injury v PSV

A serious ankle injury suffered by Luke Shaw marred Manchester United's return to Champions League action against PSV on Tuesday.

Shaw went down after a challenge from PSV's Hector Moreno as he burst into the PSV area in the 15th minute of the Group B opener at the Philips Stadion, with replays showing his right ankle apparently breaking under the impact.

The England left-back received oxygen on the pitch before being taken off on a stretcher following a delay of around nine minutes.

Marcos Rojo replaced Shaw, with the game goalless at the time of the injury.

Former PSV man Memphis Depay then gave United the lead with a well-taken finish in the 41st minute, before Moreno levelled matters in first-half stoppage time.

Shaw quickly took to Twitter and, while not commenting on the extent of his injury, thanked former club Southampton after they had sent a tweet wishing him well in his recovery.

He replied: "thank you, you don't know how much you as a club mean to me, thank you so much I really appreciate it."

The 20-year-old then tweeted: "Thank you everyone for your messages, words can't describe how gutted I am, my road to recovery starts now, I will come back stronger."
