PSV Eindhoven defender Hector Moreno broke down in tears when he visited Luke Shaw in hospital to apologise to the Manchester United full-back for breaking his leg.

Liverpool lost 3-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford after suffering a 3-0 defeat by West Ham United at Anfield before the global break to leave the Reds in 10th place in the Premier League.

As was largely expected throughout the ever-changeable summer transfer period, Louis van Gaal and Manchester United eventually saw fit to part ways with striker Robin van Persie after three relatively successful seasons at Old Trafford.
