Man Utd night gets worse as Shaw stretchered off with broken leg

Manchester United are set to really feel the pinch from Tuesday night's shock Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven.


20-year-old left-back Luke Shaw was stretchered off the Philips Stadion pitch with a double fracture of his right leg which forced the match to be stopped for 10 minutes as he was treated.

The incident occurred 15 minutes into the Group B opener which United lost 2-1 despite leading late in the first half after former PSV star Memphis Depay had put the visitors ahead.

Shaw's injury came about when he made a run into the area only for PSV's Hector Moreno to catch his standing leg as he attempted to go past him.

After the match, Shaw posted a message on Twitter after it was confirmed he had suffered a serious injury.
