Your support makes all the difference.Luke Shaw suffered a horrific double leg fracture while playing for Manchester United in their 2-1 Champions League defeat at PSV tonight.
The left-back clashed with PSV's Hector Moreno in the 14th-minute while charging forward into the box after a fine attacking run. The PSV defender Moreno looked visibly distressed while Shaw lay on the ground.
The 20-year-old required oxygen as he was being taken off the field following a delay of 10 minutes, with players from both sides looking concerned.
Shaw, who joined from Southampton for £30m in June 2014, has been in good form this season after his first year at United was hampered by injury.
