| Louis van Gaal says Luke Shaw is staying string |
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Louis van Gaal insists Luke Shaw is in good spirits after suffering a double leg-break against PSV on Tuesday.
Shaw is still in Holland where he is expected to have a second operation on his broken fibula and tibia.
Van Gaal revealed he spoke to the injured defender via text message last night and says the youngster is staying strong despite suffering a horrific injury.
He also confirmed that the first operation had gone well.
"I have to admit he was strong and firm," Van Gaal said. "It was another look than the day before, so I was happy with that.
"But of course he knows that it is a long way to go for him. The operation was a good operation but nearly all the operations are always good.
"We have to wait and see how long it takes. My speaking about the subject gives him spirit. All the players, all of his colleagues, have called him and that’s maybe not good.
"I texted him to say I’d call him later because rest is also important for the recovery.
"Of course, we have a fantastic doctor and also the medical department."
