Thegoalmac wishes him quick recovery and hope he comes back stronger and better. Luke Shaw suffered a horrendous leg break during Manchester United’s 2-1 loss to PSV on Tuesday, and was instantly inundated with well-wishing messages from fellow sporting stars.

Louis van Gaal revealed that the left-back was crying in the dressing room after being stretchered off, and a number of well-known sporting personalities expressed their sympathy towards the 20-year-old.

Thank you everyone for your messages , words can't describe how gutted I am , my road to recovery starts now, I will come back stronger.
