PSV defender Moreno lifts lid on hospital chat with Shaw

However, with Darmian deployed as a make shift left back and Valencia back in the side as a result of Shaw’s injury, United supporters will be hoping the phenomenal talent will be back in action sooner rather than later.

Van Gaal revealed during Friday’s press conference at the Aon Training Complex that he’d visited Luke Shaw to check up on him and the boss was happy to report the defender’s spirits are high, which is a major positive with many months of rehabilitation ahead.

And Moreno has now revealed that the Red Devils man did not blame him for the incident that led to his injury, and said Shaw had been “very kind” to him during their “difficult” meeting.

It has been estimated the left-back will be out for a minimum of six months and his chances of featuring in the European Championship with England next summer look slim. “It’s not easy but when I saw him yesterday – very strong and fantastic to see”. I went with Phillip Cocu to the hospital. It’s six months, but mostly there’s always more and then he has to be fit so it shall be very hard.

“He had seen the images and said it was part of football”. That made me smile’.

“Something I will never forget!”

Morgan Fox, the 22-year old Welsh full-back, acquired the attention of Manchester United after being called up to the Wales senior squad for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying matches against Cyprus and Israel held in September.

Shaw was clattered into by a strong challenge from Hector Moreno, deemed not to be a foul by the referee on the evening.
