Manchester United’s Daley Blind has admitted the injury suffered by team-mate Luke Shaw on Tuesday did affect the Red Devils players, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Shaw suffered a double fracture of his right leg in the first half after a tough tackle from Hector Moreno, with the severity of the injury clear for all to see. Blind refused to use Shaw’s problem as an excuse for losing the match, but he insisted it was ingrained into the mind of the players, per Chris Wheeler of the MailOnline:
