Shaw to undergo second op

MANCHESTER United defender Luke Shaw was expected to have a second operation on his broken leg today.

Shaw was taken to the St Anna Ziekenhuis hospital on the outskirts of Eindhoven on Tuesday night after breaking his right leg in two places during United’s 2–1 defeat to PSV.

The England left–back broke his tibia and fibula following a challenge by PSV defender Hector Moreno in the 15th minute. Two orthopaedic surgeons and a trauma specialist conducted an operation on Shaw’s leg on the night of the match.

Shaw will remain in Eindhoven until United’s medical staff are happy for him to come home. Louis van Gaal said after the match he could return to play by March.

United return to Barclays Premier League action on Sunday with a trip to Southampton.

Manchester City, meanwhile, bid to extend their perfect start to their domestic campaign tomorrow when they host West Ham. Striker Sergio Aguero could return from a knee injury.
