Luke Shaw suffered a horrific double leg fracture while playing for Manchester United in their 2-1 Champions League defeat at PSV tonight.
The left-back clashed with PSV's Hector Moreno in the 14th-minute while charging forward into the box after a fine attacking run. The PSV defender Moreno looked visibly distressed while Shaw lay on the ground.
The 20-year-old required oxygen as he was being taken off the field following a delay of 10 minutes, with players from both sides looking concerned.
Shaw, who joined from Southampton for £30m in June 2014, has been in good form this season after his first year at United was hampered by injury.

PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Bruma 7 Made some good clearances to get rid of Mata and Young’s efforts, but could not stop Memphis in his tracks in the build-up to the opener.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Moreno 5 The central defender made the horrific sliding tackle on Shaw that ended his game but worked well with Bruma in central defence.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Brenet 6 Set up Narsingh for a good early chance and helped deal with the threat of Young.

PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Guardrado 7 Was involved in the build-up to Narsingh’s goal and regularly combined with his teammates when PSV went on the attack. Limped off with an injury with 20 minutes to go but enjoyed a good game.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Narsingh 8 Was flagged offside several times in the first half, but remained a threat for the home side on the right flank and eventually got his goal with a lovely header past De Gea.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings De Jong 5 Was quiet throughout the match, and didn’t really have any clear-cut chances - working more to help Lestienne and Narsingh go for goal than himself.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Lestienne 8 Got the assist for Narsingh’s goal after beating Darmian and firing a superb cross to the winger. Had earlier tried his luck at scoring in the first half but drove his effort into the side netting. Although he didn’t get on the score-sheet, the winger put in a fine showing.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Man Utd: De Gea 6/10 Conceded two goals but was let down by his defence and could not do too much to keep Blind’s header and Narsingh’s strike out.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Darmian 4 Was beaten numerous times by Lestienne on the right flank, and was involved in a defensive mix-up with Smalling that gave away the corner kick that PSV equalised from – with the right-back being out-jumped by Moreno.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Smalling 6 Suffered one moment of miscommunication with Darmian which led to him having to head the ball out for a corner, which PSV scored from. The defender tested Zoet with a powerful strike in first half, though.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Blind 6 Was unfortunate to deflect Moreno’s header into the back of his own net, but did provide the ball that Memphis scored from. Started in central defence but shifted to left-back following Rojo’s introduction.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Shaw 6 In his 15-minute appearance, the left-back made a superb run forwards in attack but was at the end of a horrific challenge by Moreno that cut his game short.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Schweinsteiger 4 Slotted into central defence once Shaw came off and made a sloppy pass that allowed PSV to go on the attack from in the first half. He then couldn’t get his head to Lestienne’s cross that Narsingh scored the winner from.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Herrera 5 Went for goal in the second half but endured a quiet game and was hauled off with 15 minutes to go.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Young 5 Was often guilty of sending in several crosses into the area that failed to find anyone. His pace caused Brenet problems but, with no end product, Young was taken off towards the end of the second half for Antonio Valencia.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Mata 6 Provided some accurate balls to Memphis in the first period, but should have done better after being set up with a lovely ball by Schweinsteiger but failed to sort out his feet before Zoet collected the ball.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Depay 8 Scored the opener against his former side in the 40th minute and should have made it 2-0 but drove wide. The winger was a big threat for the visitors and his runs caused Arias many problems.
PSV 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Martial 7 Looked bright and dangerous up front but didn’t always get the service he needed.
