Luke Shaw could play again for Manchester United this season.

The Irish Independent says the England international's recovery is going better than expected and he could hand Louis van Gaal a major boost.

Shaw suffered a horror double leg break against PSV in the Champions League last September but has stepped up his rehab in recent weeks.

Most experts predicted the 20-year-old would be out for the remainder of the season but he could play a pivotal role in United's finish to their stuttering season.
