Luke Shaw Couldn’t Stop Crying After His Injury” — Van Gaal Reveals

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has criticised PSV Eindhoven defender Hector Moreno after Luke Shaw was left with a double fracture of his right leg following one of his tackles. Shaw was given oxygen and stretchered off during the Red Devils’ 2-1 loss in the Champions League at the Philips Stadion after a robust challenge from Moreno. And Van Gaal was unhappy with the style in which the defender won the ball.
“It was a very bad tackle with two legs,” said the Dutchman afterwards. Van Gaal revealed Shaw was in a pretty bad way:

” When he came into the dressing room, I couldn’t say anything to him because he had on an oxygen mask, and he was crying. I am not a doctor so I can not say how long he will be out but when you have a double fracture I think it is six months, it depends how it develops. He won’t play in the (Champions League) group phase any more. I hope he can play this season.”
The England full-back faces at least six months on the sidelines, with his participation at Euro 2016 firmly in doubt following the injury.

Meanwhile PSV Eindhoven defender Hector Moreno has apologised to Manchester United’s Luke Shaw for the challenge which led to the England full-back suffering a double leg fracture during the Champions League clash in Holland on Tuesday…

“I don’t know what happened, I don’t remember,” Moreno said. “I just feel really bad because I was involved in the accident. I feel really sorry.” When asked whether his challenge was a foul, one which merited action by referee Nicola Rizzoli, Moreno claimed that it was a fair tackle.
